I think sometimes I forget that allowing thoughts to come out doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ll come true or that that\u2019s what you think all the time. Let me be clear, it\u2019s wise to mind the things you say, to keep your intention clear when speaking. And, our thoughts are not us. They are small, fleeting, fickle, things that <em>change<\/em>. Whoever thought of the phrase \u201cmake up your mind?\u201d I feel like it\u2019s much more active than that, I\u2019m constantly making and re-making up my mind.

Fear I\u2019ll embarrass myself or people close to me. I\u2019m working to wash that away and come out knowing whatever I have creatively is enough. More than enough. And maybe this is your sign too, that your creations are also more than enough. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I bought a cute little plant because my room needed some life!
