I was exhausted. Then I realized I could stretch it out to a week. Mondays for this, Wednesdays for that. Then, with work and children, it became this year this and that year that. With a little mixing up there on impulse for the fun of it. That has worked the best for me. Your gifts will not evaporate.Querulous Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708026581220562733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-34828712024508465142009-02-12T01:13:00.000-05:002009-02-12T01:13:00.000-05:00This was painful to read.

And those challenges--making the world for your children, keeping up a home, making art, maintaining your health... and these short phrases don't begin to capture it.<BR/><BR/>But keep creating. You keep creating and that is amazing and inspiring.martahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204017612463588546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-25079475129596711632009-02-11T23:26:00.000-05:002009-02-11T23:26:00.000-05:00These challenges that you speak of are daunting.

In my morning pages I list two creative goals for the day. Nothing huge or monumental. Just enough to be able to say that I fed my creative spirit. I started with one goal, became comfortable, then bumped it up to two. I tried three and after a couple of days of "failure" I remembered that success was the point. Two creative goals each day is my sweet spot. Anything extra is icing on the cake!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your honest perspective. I know it is silly but I sometimes feel alone and isolated in my conflict between mother and artist. Relating to your words has boosted my spirits!Sara Moriartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251728107741824528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-87582948730272679742009-02-11T21:54:00.000-05:002009-02-11T21:54:00.000-05:00Woman.
