Good Morning my friends! Pour you a cup of coffee or tea or whatever your morning drink of choice is, have a seat in your comfy chair and let's chat.
As I was doing my morning blog walk I visited one of my favorites http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/ and she introduced me to http://faithwordsfaithexpressions.blogspot.co.uk/ and then she introduced me to http://tracywoodsford.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/why-compare.html and wow we had a wonderful chat. Tracy talked to us about the whole comparing issue...raising my hand I'm guilty! As I've said before I'm taking this class http://www.donnadowney.com/online-workshops/48-weeks/48-week-online-course-pay-in-full.html. I can't speak highly enough of this class. I've learned sooooo much and the private facebook group is very, very very, supportive. I can't speak for the public group because well I haven't participated in that one because I wasn't feeling like my work was good enough. Heck I'm even nervous bout showing my work to my closest friends. But after speaking with Susan & Tracy this morning I realize I have to stop comparing and just show my stuff. Am I a phenomenal artist? No. But, we all start somewhere and we practice and grow and practice and grow......We all have special talents and interpret things in our own way. As women, and dare I say especially as women, we need to stop comparing ourselves and judging ourselves and know that we are each talented and beautiful in someway. Let's build each other up in any aspect of our lives. I love, love, love this special K commercial http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7bAf/special-k-more-than-a-number
So, yeah I guess I took my chat with these artist women, thought about the special K commercial and realized not only do we need to stop comparing ourselves as artists but as women in general...
I hope this post helps someone else like it is helping me. Now I'm off to make me a canvas to remind me No Comparing....
