Thank you so much, Rick!

There's so much great stuff in there, I know I'll be re-reading this more than a few times. Also, thanks for this:

"You ARE coming out of your skin unless you are allowing yourself to “go out and play!”



When I was teaching an art class that I called "Re-connect with your Creativity", people would come into my studio lamenting that they couldn't draw a straight line...so, I'd bring them over to the computer, pull up the "Paint" program and show them how to draw that straight line, telling them as they laughed, that art doesn't have to be about straight lines.

Your newsletter resonated for me, reminding me of the adults who would come into my studio, look around...and I could see the child coming to the surface. That child that desperately wanted to be creative, but had been ordered to go sit on their tape.

I love showing people how easy it is to be creative again, no matter their age. I KNOW some of them went home and stuck their work on the refrigerator, lol!

So, I'll be going "out to play" again, thanks for the reminder-I needed this!
