"I want you to know that you are an inspiration to my daughter. She says she strives to be like you when she’s older. Just thought you’d appreciate hearing that. Keep it up because you never know how you might inspire and empower!" --- a message I received today reminds me to keep creating from a place of love, joy and curiosity. Life as an artist is full of rich challenges and many times I consider quitting or doing something 'easier'. However, it's never easy to quit and I never find something easier. I just need a break. The break recharges me and then I don't want to quit. If I avoid my creative work, everything else just gets harder. Life is easier when we create. Keep creating for yourself, for each other, for the fun of it, for the moments when it really matters. Let the rest go. Enjoy your creative freedom as yo move through all the phases of being. LOVE, cha
