What would happen if you stopped trying?

  I know you’ve had this idea for a while now. You want to go for it and yet you wonder if you can. I get these ideas too and they both excite and terrify me. You worry about how it will all work. If the idea will be good enough, if it will succeed. You don’t […]

wait

It was a fleeting moment, in a busy day, more than five years ago. I had just finished work, the book-keeping for my husband, and had 10 minutes to spare before picking the kids up from school. I was perusing my inbox when an image caught my eye.  I lingered on the article, a behind the scenes […]

Read this when you are wondering if it’s time for a change

path

You stir in the night, worry quickly jolting you into consciousness. You lay there for hours, physically tossing and turning. Your thoughts churning over.  Did I do the right thing? Say the right thing?  Was it enough? Am I enough? You eventually drift into a restless slumber only to wake exhausted, tired before the new day begins. It’s time […]

Everything I know about believing in myself I learnt from watching my kids.

The sun was shining as we skipped along the city streets. The kids singing loud and proud as they rapped out a tune they had been working on for days. Then as we waited for the ferry they began rehearsing their dance moves. I marvelled at their confidence and delighted in the obvious joy and belief each […]

Dream notebook

My first life redesign came at an early age.  When, as a feisty and disruptive 18 year old, I left home with little more than a bag of clothes, a hairdryer and a tonne of stubbornness. I soon learnt that as long as I kept running away from my frustrations (and my parent’s rules) I was not going […]

I don’t know and the holiday phenomenon

“What are we doing today Mum?” “I don’t know, what do you feel like doing?” This has been our life for the last 3 weeks. One of the great joys of a holiday is the freedom from schedules and commitments. Unscheduled time that allows days to unfold and adventures to be had without the usual […]

How to discover the Art you were born to create

August 11, 2014 By Karen Main 28 Comments

art

There was a time when I thought Art was something only exceptionally talented and gifted people could do. That the ability to create was an extra-extra-ordinary gift that would ooze from the pores of those lucky enough to be born as ‘artists’. Back then,  Art had so many rules and criteria that I in fact stifled my own creativity……Art sat in […]
