Even though I won awards for teaching Art, I know what it’s like to struggle with finding time to create art, because years ago, that struggle consumed my life. I know what it’s like to wake up and feel lost and filled with grief. And to lay down at night thinking about how in five years, I lost my mom to cancer, I was feeling overworked, I have a growth on my spine that filled my days and nights with pain, I got breast cancer and my dad died. It got so bad that my days were filled with anxiety, depression and feeling being suicidal. So I know how painful it can be. And, I know what it’s like to be on the other side of it. To be content and to feel grounded and to have a life where I wake up to an amazing new day where I am loved, creative and happy, and I go to bed at night thinking about how blessed I am, when can I be creative tomorrow and how I love who I am. The best part is that I am creating art again as it expresses my creativity and emotions and it has reclaimed my joy. And I want this kind of life for everyone! That’s why I do the work that I do. And, even though there’s a part of me that is concerned I’m sharing too much about my life’s work this week (I’m in a 5-Day Challenge) my deeper truth is that I care way too much about helping people to be creative and express their creativity to let that fear stop me. Because I know how painful it can be when you have lost a part of yourself through stress, anxiety and depression. And I have dedicated myself to helping people get playing with art and being content.
