Lovely read. I'm pretty introverted, so I fear being judged if I don't strike up a light heart conversation in busy places. Like in grocery stores or airports or in line for a cup of coffee. When I am rushed, I try to remember Hebrews 13:2 KJV. lt reminds me to slow down and be generous with conversation. maybe it is the midwest in me that cannot help it, but I try to always tell people to have a nice day =)
Too often, I get caught up in the pressure to produce something other people will "like" - your words have brought me back to center... to heart... and reminded me that when creating from authenticity and meaning, the rest will fall into place. Thank you so much.
The rest will fall into place, exactly. Expecting no outcome and allowing the work to guide where you go. Starting out, I was creating content that in my heart of hearts, I knew wasn't fully authentic. It wasn't sustainable. Has to be authentic or it won't go far. Thanks for reading.
Thank you for this reminder and prompt to dare! We do have many dreams and desires, some will become tangible and others won't. Yet, the goal is to dare to do it, dare to believe you can do it no matter what. Creativity amplifies in that motion.
I believe there is a lot of power in what we create and share, we can never know how it can impact someone at a kairos time. Also, loving is the foundation to keep on within the route. Even if nobody sees or resonates yet with what you create. Your love for the craft sustains and fuels your progress. That core is the guide and treasure.
Hi Keva, thanks for sharing your perspective. I fully align with your point about "we can never know how it can impact someone." Having that frame of mind can unlock the fear of contributing. You never know who will stumble upon your work. Live Free, Niall.
To show up, to share our creations takes courage. This is the moment our desire to give must outweigh our fear and vulnerability. Thinking like a child is a great example of our innate creative courage. Oh, to tap into that playfulness every day.

Exactly! Well said Niall.
Creativity is freedom or the quest to freedom.

Once you go through that discomfort a few times, sharing your work publicly becomes easier in my experience. What else has worked for you Kathryn?
