"Express what you've got, oh baby, ready or not" Madonna
In the constant hecticness of life how do you find time and space to express your inner longings and creative push? How can we trickle out our desire for beauty and immersion when there are school lunches to make and socks to hang out on the line? I struggle with this all the time. When I manage to really immerse myself in my ideas, the family suffers and can't deal with it. My children become incredibly emotional and my husband gets tense and worried. So how to be here and there at the same time is difficult. I am learning to try and make do with 5 minutes a day. Just me and whatever can create in this time. I carry my notebook with me, a pen and even my phone camera work just fine for creative production. It's about definition and breaking sown boundaries, about being where I am at right now. Creative energy can also flow through connecting with my daughters and spending time being with them and really noticing them and what they are doing. They are my most beautiful ideas and when I truly look at them I fell this and respond internally with a sense of "all is right" and fulfilment.
