This is my first post of many to come. I am a stay at home mom turning into a working at home mom... an artist that is reclaiming what she may have sacrificed unnecessarily in the child rearing process. Becoming a mom feels so all-consuming and overwhelming and it comes with so much joy and exhaustion. These emotions combine with the responsibility you feel for taking care of another human being and it can sometimes rob you of any desire to nuture yourself as a person and a seperate creation of God.
I had a friend make that observation lately and it got me thinking. I am a child of God. One of his own creations- seperate and whole. I am also a mother- but it is my duty to myself, my children, and God to nuture myself so I can take the best possible care of my little ones. So, I have made a commitment. I will continue to grow as an artist and will continue to nuture that side of myself that I have almost forgotten.
I have posted some items that I have done in the recent past. Just some things I have been up to. Take a look... let me know what you think... and maybe you will be inspired to nuture yourself too. -Heather
