If you’ve been around here for for a while, if you have been one of my coaching clients, or if you’ve been one of my students over the years, you’ll know I am a big fan of approaching our creative work as a practice.
Thanks for re-sharing this, Samantha. What a great perspective on creativity - I like the idea that my fortnightly post with images and text is 'shipping' my work. It's something I'm getting used to (definitely comes with practice) but, my goodness, that feeling of vulnerability never leaves.
This message is just what I needed to quiet the inner judge. Thank you! I am happy for you that you were given the well-deserved gift of a stellar review, and I also appreciate your reflection that the boost of knowing your message has been seen is fleeting, and you simply get back to responding to the greater gift—unique, individualized, creative inspiration. Your work is beautiful and has inspired me to return to “making art”. Rest, renew, and restore.

Yes, I really like his workmanlike approach too - just get it out and move on. Keep learning.
