I’m reposting this post from Patricia blog from May because I love it so much! I’ve been taking a lot of pictures around the old homestead here of Fernmire that I hope to share with you soon. Until then, please enjoy Patricia’s creative expression with nature for another post. Have a lovely day! I hope you are able to get outside and explore your own thoughts and inspiration for creative expression. Remember to do it for yourself, not for the admiration of others. I know some people who don’t think they are very creative, but mostly I observe that they are afraid to try for fear of failure. Failure is learning and part of the process. How are you supposed to learn if you’re too afraid to start at all?

Think of the people you admire most, and remember that at some point, they fail at things too. If you have empathy for them, why can’t you have empathy for yourself?

   I have a request to make:

   I believe that planning ahead is a good idea, so:

   Feedback on the chapters can most easily be commented upon here, for the 5th draft.

 

  We need, still,  a better central portal set up for the project (any volunteers to do that, please?).  This temporary page works for now, I guess, maybe?

Oh, and a logo, please, although a friend of a friend may be working on this, not verified yet.
