Sunday's Quote and Reflection

Last week I took a short break from blogging.  It was an unintended break but a break just the same.  Today I realized I missed blogging and missed hearing from all of the wonderful people I have met since I began this blog three years ago.  So I am back and excited about writing again.  Sometimes just a short break from something, even when we love doing it, is just what we need to get the creative energy flowing again.

Last week I decided to also take a short break from pastels.  I thought I would try creating a zentangle.  I read a little bit about them and thought that they were made for me.   I was a great doodler in high school and still love to draw.  In the short amount of reading that I did, it said the purpose of the drawing was to relax you, thus the name Zentangle.  I enjoyed working on this tiny piece of art but soon realized that I was taking my zentangle just as seriously as I did my pastels.  Since I am studying to be a creative coach with Jill Badonsky, I decided it might be just the right time to put into practice what I am learning.  I stopped trying to make my zentangle perfect, took a deep breath, and enjoyed the time I spent creating.  If you too have even a little bit of perfectionist in you, and who doesn't, maybe Jill's quote above will help you too.  I hope everyone has a great week filled with special moments and creative endeavors.  Talk to you again on Wednesday.

Great post, Ginny! Awesome zentangle. Perfection is over-rated....but I'm still trying to curb the perfectionist bug in myself. It's a constant battle. That's why I took up sketching in pen only, no pencil, so that I couldn't erase and correct.

Have a lovely week ~ xo

Welcome back, Ginny! We all need breaks from time to time...it refreshes us I think. I love your zentangle -- i did a lot of them about two years ago, very relaxing. Have a creative week!

You are so right- breaks are good! What a great quote for me since this week has already gotten a bit out of control!

Perfect was never my strong point and I agree we need to reelax.
It must be amazing to be a creative coach and I expect you will enjoy it.
