I know what it is to procrastinate and cling to the perfectionist in us, but sometimes we just have to let go of things when things let us now it is time. Listen carefully around you. I think that book will be out sooner than later. It wants to be born and handed to its destiny in our hands. <BR/>Your work is not just beautiful, it also calls and answers to that need of magic in all of us. So, don't keep it a magical secret. Put it out there.Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02681951546653165197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-15283128146407112812009-01-19T17:11:00.000+00:002009-01-19T17:11:00.000+00:00It must feel so good to be painting again, to be a...It must feel so good to be painting again, to be able to give yourself to your creativity once more.
