“Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul – and you answer.”
~Terri Guillemets
I sit here in the throes of birthday party plans and invitation ideas for my oldest little, who will be four this year. Four. Four years since she made me a mama, since my heart grew a million times over. This little one that’s taught me about love and about patience, about laughter and letting go, about enjoying all the little things. But her birthday is still over a month away, and so I will wax on about it another time. But just the thought of her birth, the beginning of a whole new chapter of my life, this chapter of mamahood, feeds my soul.
My sweet budding artist who is herself, my own little work of art.
My soul was ready to be filled, and my beautiful ones, my artful masterpieces, they were the answer. Each time I see their giggly little faces and eyes full of bright dreams, I’m grateful for what they’ve taught me. I’m grateful for my soul being stretched and filled, and torn, and stretched and filled again… and now what remains is love. Pure love for the artful wonder that they are.

so cute! I think it’s great that you’re having your kids do that! I’m in the process of taking an art class myself (it’s my “get away time” once a week) and there’s something so liberating about delving into your creative side, I think everyone should give it a try, especially kids!
