Terri, I wrote a Blogger Highlight post on you a long time ago and since you direction has changed I would like to do an updated Blogger Highlight on you. What do you think. :)
Great! I’ll start by asking 2 questions.
*How did you decide to change direction from health and start a new art blog?
*How does painting bring joy to your life?
My goal is to post next Monday.
:)
Those are great questions Melinda! I don’t think it was a conscious change from one thing to another, to be honest. I decided to close down my health and wellness blog, and I thought I was done blogging for good. Fast forward a year or so, and as I was starting to get serious about improving my watercolor skills, I thought it would be fun to document my journey. It occurred to me that a blog would be the perfect way to do it. I can document my progress, and maybe encourage others who are starting something new in the later chapters of their lives. Painting brings joy to my life in a couple of ways. First, it’s a great stress reliever! I haven’t been able to paint as often as I’d like the last 5 months, but when I can, just the act of putting paint on the paper helps quiet my mind. It’s easy to get into a flow state where the only thing I’m thinking of is the project in front of me. It also brings me joy when I’m able to paint a card, or do a small painting for someone in my family or my friends. Even though I’m still just learning, they always seem to appreciate that I did something just for them, and that makes me happy. Thanks again for featuring me on your Blogger Spotlight! You’ve been, and still are, such a blessing to me!
