Yes those old school teachers were terrible...and some damaged me too. Why did we believe them, especially when they would counteract the good my mother taught me. When friends would ask how I got everything done so well I told them not to envy me because inside I never felt good enough! It took an illness to relinquish the perfectionism...thank goodness!!It was then I dared to put paint to paper. I often wonder why it takes so long to truly know ourselves!! I heard it said true freedom is not caring what others think and say about you! <br /><br />Hugs Giggles Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713143985984314202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-86603660563962044462014-11-13T13:08:21.204-05:002014-11-13T13:08:21.204-05:00Painting with freedom is such a transforming proce...Painting with freedom is such a transforming process of how we see ourselves and the world. I can say this and feel it to be true at this time because I'm almost at the end of a month long e-course with Flora Bowley. It's been such a journey for all of us through such turbulent emotions along the way but it's amazing how the act of painting with trust and intuition can impact on all the corners of our lives. I agree with the comments above, your art is blooming!

I am struggling with that these days as well. I am glad that you have your art to help heal you and it is so much fun to watch you let go and blossom!! xoxoCathy Buetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176782992604138092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-90956185750877178212014-11-13T07:22:42.491-05:002014-11-13T07:22:42.491-05:00Eine wunderbare Post!

Simple logic.<br /><br />My wish for you, is that you will fully allow yourself, to be yourself. With no more, of that old... "Am I good enough, etc.?"<br /><br />Come on Dear, isn't it time? To leave the things of childhood and growing up, behind?<br /><br />And to let those who "knew you then," just take it or leave it. You aren't about to fit into any of their molds, any more.<br /><br />Isn't it time...?<br /><br />Tessa~Tessa~ Here there be musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661988938395877761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-9599730699727609842014-11-12T14:50:42.276-05:002014-11-12T14:50:42.276-05:00Those teachers in your past you should feel sorry ...Those teachers in your past you should feel sorry for because they were raised in an environment that didn't allow them to color outside the lines. You, on the other hand are no longer in that environment and you not only color outside of the lines, you use your intellect to find your way to new truths. I have been around much longer than you and I can tell you that you will reach a point where all of your new freedoms will come together and outshine the old thoughts. You may never get rid of those thoughts, but they will mean less and less and you will be able to walk away from them when they appear. My favorite saying is "I don't do perfect" and I do not feel bad about it. I do the best I can and I am satisfied with that ... though I am forever challenging myseld to make my best better, it is not because I am trying to please anyone else. You are smart and talented, Silke ... you will get where you want to be. It is a life process ... :)<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-86139765389736073112014-11-12T11:52:25.345-05:002014-11-12T11:52:25.345-05:00maybe because i'm a counselor, but i think you...maybe because i'm a counselor, but i think you are ready to soar. the burglar alarms that go off are not because of anything in the present, but your mind can't tell the difference. counseling, neurofeedback, other supports may be a way to hold on to that 'aha, that's why!'.<br /><br />your art these days is spectacular. i mean it. <br /><br />i appreciate your honesty always<br /><br />love<br />kjkjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-51613480396935922462014-11-12T09:30:54.157-05:002014-11-12T09:30:54.157-05:00Oh yes, I've had to "deprogram" myse...Oh yes, I've had to "deprogram" myself three times in my life. Once to get rid of all the socialization BS about what it means to be a female in our society, once to break free of Christian BS, and once to deprogram myself from homophobic BS about being a lesbian. It takes time and persistence, but once the deprogramming is complete, you will feel great! And free. It's worth the effort, believe me.
