Reads like your inside my head, but true words indeed. It's so easy in this modern world to get hung up on optimizing ones productivity. But I like to remind myself that sometimes my optimum involves stopping, involves down time, involves just being me!

Now about this ignores inner child... Let's address this... What's your favourite dinosaur... Tell me about the prettiest rock you've seen... Whats your favourite snack to nibble on while working on an art piece?.

😊

Thanks for the wonderful post, keep being inspiring!!

Thanks, friend! Yes! I have realized when I try to power through art/creative block it can sometimes make it worse. I need to slow down and essentially fill up my tank with inspiring things from life, reconnecting with myself and the world.

Favorite dinosaur is probably a Apatosaurus (I say probably because I grew up watching Land Before Time and loved Little Foot but upon googling long necked dinosaurs found that there are wat more that I realized. But the Internet thinks he was an Apatosaurus lol). I have so many pretty rocks! I have this one rock that is grey and white, the white bit looks less opaque and of different material than the grey.

Oh I also have a good collection of sticks!

Favorite snack, I gotta have something salty and sweet so chocolate covered peanuts with some crisps are my go to (is probably go for cheezits in the states which is more of a snacky cracker). I love crunchy snacks! What about you?
