The artist in me,   There have been a lot of times where I felt like I needed to tone down the artist in me. Share a different way, don’t see the world through that lens, don’t share your gift, QUIET it down.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Every time I open about this, you guys share your stories and you remind me why this conversation needs to happen. 😭🙌. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I love that some of us can have similar gifts with different callings, I love that some of us have totally different gifts and I LOVE that you can step into that in the way that you were created to. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As a mama, my heart hurts to think of my littles ever quieting or hiding their gifts, to stay small. But isn’t that often the message? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What is a way you can step into your gifting a more and not hide?!⁣

I had a dear friend say to me this morning what a beautiful thing is to breathe life and belief on another persons dreams. ⁣
⁣
This exactly is my heart. It makes me cry and it’s something that is a part of me. If I look back on all the things I’ve pursued in my life…. starting as a little girl selling painted acorns and hotel soaps in my front yard to growing up and painting, selling cards, opening an art studio for kids, watching my guy make a documentary, saying yes to a design network show, cohosting a blog conference and the list goes on. ⁣
⁣
I want my kids to be dreamers and know their mama said yes again and again even when it was scary. And I want YOU to know that those dreams in your heart were placed there for a reason. ⁣
⁣
Speak it today this day, do you have a someday dream that is waiting for you!!?
