It wasn’t easy, emerging from my shackles of self-doubt.  It seems like it took so long.  So long that I began to worry that I was going to forget who I was, or what I was doing.  This little art project sat shelved for far too long, and for that I am sorry.  I know so many of us are just plodding along, going through the motions, getting by.   I know, because that is where I have been.   Getting by was all I had the energy to do, and I told myself that I was just too Tired.  Too tired to be creative.  Too tired to think.  Too tired to dream.  There were kids to be raised, bills to be paid.  Believe me, it has taken everything I have to break free from this cycle.  The long winter is over.  Spring is quickly turning into summer. It’s a new day.  The sun is shining.  The birds are chirping.   Tiny nests full of hope, faith and dreams are being left out in the world.  Break free and find yours.
