Choose your moments. Will you spend them making a giant mess and occasionally creating something lovely? Or will you spend them wishing you were creating art the way you’d like?
Will you focus on the process of creating?
Will you allow yourself to experience a flood of moments for each bit of time spent creating (and messing up) and more creating (and more messing up)?
Or will you try to focus on that last moment of creating and try to get the end result a perfect work of art?
You already know what my recommendation is 😉
This season, I invite you to take the moments for yourself, for your art, and for the process.

Tara and Sandra, met by happy accident. Tara had been listening to a Podcast that Sandra was interviewed on, and having her own podcast at the time, she invited Sandra to be a guest. Over the following weeks, they began setting each other creative challenges. Knowing the power that creative challenges had held for them, they decided that they wanted to help other people find and embrace their creative side and ‘have a go'. So, they created a website, full of monthly creative challenges, and a Podcast to run alongside, which they named, ‘Kick in the Creatives.’
Susan began watercoloring to relieve anxiety during a particularly difficult period when she found herself struggling with a bad relapse of a chronic health condition. She quickly realized that even though she was unsure and timid about the quality of her work, she forgot about everything else she was dealing with because it brought so much joy - and in it's own way, healing. The power of having a creative outlet is what keeps her painting and wanting to share and guide others in their own pursuits to create as well.
Zero expectations. Zero pressure. All the fun.
