☆ Illustration Friday

The other day I was out to dinner with a few of the girls from my mothers group, and during the course of the evening we were talking about what we did before becoming full time mothers, and whether we would go back to the job we had before our children or if we wanted to do something else.

Aided by a few glasses of chardonnay, I took a deep breath and said "well I would love to be an artist, but that's not going to happen"....

What the?? Did that just come out of my mouth?? Did I really say that, and more disturbingly, is that what I really felt?? Talk about two steps forward, and three giant leaps back!

Two weeks later and a large amount of soul searching, I am going to nurture my fragile inner artist, I am going to love her, and encourage her, praise her and cultivate her, and next time I will say - "Well, I am an artist." Shut mouth now ; )

Here is my response to this weeks IF - Cultivate.
