It is not something that can be sat aside as a hobby...for an artist, art is often so energy confusing that it makes us drained and tired. It is not like a hobby that you take up to make yourself relaxed. It is important to understand it because artists often feel guilt just because they use so much of their energy for art...but that is the way it is.<br /><br />I always love reading about your childhood. Imagination is something that develops so early on, isn't it? <br /><br />I really like both ponchos!

If putting an outfit together or making a great meal from leftovers counts are being creative them that's me. As for writing, drawing or making music then no! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-15241794791126012122016-02-14T10:00:38.507-08:002016-02-14T10:00:38.507-08:00Both ponchos are wonderful on you, but I especiall...Both ponchos are wonderful on you, but I especially like the splashy floral one in mustard/yellow. <br />So much reflection, prompted by a poncho, it's great! As for me, I don't consider myself creative in the least, I wish I had more skills in artistic areas but I just don't. I sometimes also wish I could say that I had followed a conventional path of making the most of my education and getting a well-paid career instead, but somehow that hasn't happened either! Ah well. I guess I am just making it up as I go along, and that's OK too.

Someone once said "you're the most creative person I know"! I was stunned!<br />Your artistic side is well represented in these gorgeous ponchos. So warm and snuggly.<br />I'm glad you are seeing your true self come to life. Each baby step we stand on leads to the next one and soon we can see!<br />I can see where Anya's talents come from. You have been able to nurture her as you weren't able to be. What an achievement.<br />I hope I can do the same with my boys.<br />Xo Jazzy Jack Jazzy Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082508866581606775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-38677756083316021452016-02-12T19:14:38.084-08:002016-02-12T19:14:38.084-08:00Natalia, your words are so lively, lovely and exac...Natalia, your words are so lively, lovely and exactly what I needed to read for such a time as this. Feeling lonely, somewhat frightened and unsure of this new life I've embraced. Wanting a sign from the heavens that I'm indeed on the right path. Yet I know, to take another "job" would be to my detriment. I am an artist. Creating stories from words gives me life...and so does Anthropologie (smile). My Mom discovered Anthropologie and said to me, "I've found the perfect, quirky store for you." That was over 25 years ago. I still love them dearly. I feel inspired to create when I go into the store...I feel like I belong.<br /><br />You look beautiful in the ponchos. They were meant for you.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234209134434888157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-4829051274489725312016-02-12T11:25:32.963-08:002016-02-12T11:25:32.963-08:00What a compliment form your Grandmother.For someon...What a compliment form your Grandmother.For someone to be told they are interesting means you carry an allure that is escaped by the bland and vanilla of the world. those are lovely ponchos-I found one back in November and I feel like it is a big hug whenever I wear it.

I was surprised that it wasn't your first, obvious identity as you seem so at ease with it now.<br />I've always seen myself as an artist of some sort, and most of my life I've been writing. And I tried to make my family see me that way, too, constantly seeking their approval for my artistic ambitions (as a child I wanted to be an actor or a writer, then I studied fashion design). I never got this approval, or encouragement, but my family sort of saw it all as a hobby I would grow out of. It was just exhausting trying to get people take me seriously, like banging my head against a wall. In retrospect I wish I'd just done whatever I wanted and stopped looking for approval, or 'permission' to pursue my dreams... But this good girl finally got tired of constantly looking for approval and just gave up, got a boring job that (barely) pays the bills and makes her miserable. Sad, huh? Now I'm learning to be a bad girl because bad girls don't ask for permission and just do what they want.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822796974112289222noreply@blogger.com
