Today’s project is about letting go of fear. I showed up to create this feeling unsure and inadequate.

Last week I shared when I was doing my journal flip through that I hadn’t created florals in a while and that I needed some practice. I know what and how I want to create but can’t quite make it happen.

So I just stopped doing them. I moved on to other things that were interesting to me and bringing me joy. Which is good.

But as I head into the new year and with my new word…. Adventure… I decided to tackle my fear and take just one step.

I’ll share more about the journey to this piece in the video. This piece was a lot of fun and I’m headed in the right direction.

Enjoy the project and always know that you are loved!
