I learned something pretty cool yesterday.

Yesterday when I was working on the little drawing for Don's exercise, I learned something about myself. I learned that I've been way too caught up in trying to do my art "just so" instead of just letting go and letting whatever is in me out.

There have been times in my past when I have been able to do this in my work. And looking back on that, these are the pieces that sold first. It really didn't hit me until I was reading Don's book yesterday. I was reading and I was like.....that's me! that's me! LOL

I am really looking forward to completing the other exercises in Don's book. I can already feel the freedom in my core and I know that is only going to increase. I HIGHLY recommend working with Don. Not only is he a great instructor, but he's a real person who takes the time to get to know people. I feel very lucky to have met him.

I hope you all have a blessed and wonderful day and you can create some art, write something and just have some sunshine in your heart.

Wow Jaqueline!
I appreciate knowing that something I wrote helped!
I will most gladly help anyone that wants to break free of any "mind nonsense" that seeks to stand over the child in you with that critical frown and that ruler in hand--ready to swat you if you do something outside the norm---in making your art.

Hi Don! So good to see you here. Yes you helped me for sure! I still have to sit down and email you. I will do that as soon as I get back from picking up some meds. I posted the pic I emailed you here and I'll post another one when it's finished. I'm really having fun working with you and I know I'm on the right path to finding the true me in my work. *Hugs* Thanks again and I'll talk to you soon.
