2026 The Truth about Life

Life. The truth....... 

Life is messy, hurtful, joyful, and hard.

Deaths, failures, estrangements, career changes, Covid, money, bills, holidays, vacations, .......Any one else feeling it?

The list of interruptions from what we perceive life will be and what it actually plays out like... mind boggling. 

I believe every single human feels it in one way or another... we just don't always articulate it. 

But the truth is this.

We are spiritual beings who strive to do our best, what we think is right and in the midst of doing what we think is right, we make mistakes. 

Mistakes, yes mistakes. 

We can choose to sulk or learn and move forward. 

 One of my truths is I let well meaning critics influence my art and my writing . I stopped. 

Stopped sewing.

Stopped writing.

Stopped painting and designing. 

Stopped being creative. 

I let others make me feel less then good at what I loved. I let those words, thoughts and rejection slips convince me that I was not enough and no one would want my God given gifts in any form. 

The last couple years made me realize no one has that kind of power over me or my God given gifts. 

I have taken my power back and caring for my soul. 

I am writing, taking more art classes to find my focus, and trusting God to show me the way. 

What can you do today to take back a smidge of your soul, maybe slowly but  one step forward to what is in your heart? I would love to hear?
