Art is just so much more personal and "out there" than a lot of other fields, so we feel even more vulnerable. I think the best thing you can do is to continue to acknowledge your feelings, then "give them their leave," as you have done here, as many times as you have to! :-)Andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504062428517837765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834958948586521727.post-53111203916417935072011-08-25T16:06:59.996-05:002011-08-25T16:06:59.996-05:00love your girl in these pages

However, I've developed some new skills when they stop by, this time around. I sit, have a cup of coffee with them, let them throw their garbage at me . . . then I introduce them to someone new. I know you are familiar with "Miss COURAGE", right? Oh, Miss Courage is just about the best part of me. And she is the best part of YOU, too. Let Miss Courage handle them. They'll be gone in no time, at all. Hugs, my friend.

I've let those 2 influence too much of my life, but not anymore! I'm so proud of you Leslie!!! Keep on creating your beautiful Brave Girls! :-)J.A.

The 'you can't call yourself an artist, who do you think you are, what must people think of you' and your heart quietly saying 'this is who you are, go for it' but almost being drowned out by the louder voice of fear and doubt.<br />Thank you for such an encouraging post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12142631013794952968noreply@blogger.com
