As we enter into a new year, many people make New Year’s resolutions.  I, instead choose a new word to focus on for the year.  For 2020 I have chosen the word “grace”.  I want to be more receptive of this beautiful gift from God, but I want to be able to extend it freely to those around me. 

I am aware that I also need to apply this same grace to myself, so that I can stop being so hard on msyelf, feeling like I have to do everything and be everything to everyone. 

Often in my desire to “do it all”, I allow my artist indulgement and “down time” to take a back seat.

Using our creative gifts is very important; often it fuels us for all that life brings our way.
