I had an experience...I love your incredible photos!<br />I had an experience recently which your ponderings remind me of. My original "art teacher" came. She always offered good critiques of our work. So when she stood by my works I said, "So, what do you think?" - and instantly regretted it. She had some criticisms but I found I needed to let them go because 1. she no longer has the right/position to offer a critique of my work, and 2. I have moved beyond the need for it because I know my work moves away from her expectations and I am fine with that. But by opening myself up to her critique, I closed the door on my own creativity - well, almost…. I have spent 2 weeks now getting over the blow to my creative self and renewing and searching out the path I want to follow with my art - the path that creates joy in me and keeps me true to my path…. Happy creating Silke!<br />CallingForthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427301848027316543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-30785484852430289022014-04-27T00:52:57.805-04:002014-04-27T00:52:57.805-04:00Whenever I start to worry about what others might ...Whenever I start to worry about what others might think of me, this pops into my mind, but, unfortunately, I can't remember who said it...Maya Angelou, perhaps? "To worry about what others think of you is to be owned by them...and, honey, slavery is over!" That thought always snaps me right out of worrying about what people will think... <br /><br />Blessings, <br /><br />VictoriaVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851516387194415387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-29177555570274408422014-04-26T23:15:15.316-04:002014-04-26T23:15:15.316-04:00Do you know the Lennon/McCartney song "Blackb...Do you know the Lennon/McCartney song "Blackbird"?

Everyone has their own interpretation that may not marry with yours!Being true to your self enjoying your god given gifts is the true road to happiness....through grief, loss, and disappointment...it's the thread to tie it all together!<br />You are creative, you are an artist.... even if you sell nothing you are still an artist.... I only have so many walls for my own art, and I love whimsy so I tend to gravitate to that. I respect not everyone will love my gypsy pink walls.... but some will...and that's okay... I am being myself completely... The older you get some things are better and some things are not... I'd never trade the wisdom I have now for the youthfulness of yesterday! Everything is a trade off....being married, or single, being rich or poor... all of it has a balance of ups and downs! Enjoy....do what you love... forget what others think. I was 47 when I started doing art.... imagine all the years I wasted because of those stupid idiots I listened to thinking they mattered back in the day! There is a huge vessel inside waiting to be discovered...worry less about what other think....and more about what you think when you are not being influenced! This is just flowing from though...didn't mean for it to be so long!! Hope it helps...and you ARE a beautiful artist!!<br /><br />Big hugs Giggles Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713143985984314202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-16676380945840736662014-04-26T21:50:38.304-04:002014-04-26T21:50:38.304-04:00Great follow up post and really gives us something...Great follow up post and really gives us something to think about. REally interesting when we reframe who we think we were, and find out it just wasn't true. So thought provoking, and yes, your goosebumps are a big hint.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282631333469688624noreply@blogger.com
