It would seem that we are a lot alike in many ways. :)<br />I have more of a tendency to start projects than to finish them. Love your idea of once a month doing an Art Day with friends. The days are getting cool in Minnesota if you have your quilt out... it's getting much cooler up here too in Ontario.<br /><br />I agree with you that Teresa should join Michele's blogging forum.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping in.

It would be fun to read your stories! <br /><br />I feel a similar theme to my life, Suzanne. My sisters are all very talented artists, but I never really considered myself one as I compared myself to them. I know that I am good at art, but I never really pursued it. Life got *busy*. Then recently, my dear friend Michele Bergh mentioned a painting class that she went to and I decided to try oil painting. I loved it. I only did that one class, but it got me moving again on art. Since then, I decided to gather a couple of friends of mine together once a month to do art. We call it simply Art Day. We each just bring whatever projects we are working on and my project has been a quilt. My first! I love that I was able to complete my quilt with my friends. I tend to never finish my projects, so to me this was a big deal. The quilt is keeping my Minnesota legs warm as I type this! :)<br /><br />Thanks for a great story!Amy Putkonenhttp://taotechingdaily.com/tao-te-ching-chapter-45-essay/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859127859892440317.post-54199856754116845822012-09-19T21:02:22.343-05:002012-09-19T21:02:22.343-05:00Deborah, could you give me an address for your blo...Deborah, could you give me an address for your blog/website?

For me it's felt like a long journey to being able to figure out that it was ok to give myself some time space and freedom to do what I needed to for myself all while continuing to take care of everything for my son.

There's been challenges and in the midst of all that it's what drove me over the edge of the cliff... right into energy healing and spirituality without me realizing how important at the time it would become.

It seems there is a common thread that goes with the late bloomer territory, putting others before ourselves. I'm so glad that you gave yourself a small act of kindness.
