"Take Flight"

What does this mean to me??
And why now? 

Well I have been making and creating art and craft now for as long as I can remember, art that reflects thoughts provoke thoughts and challenges my view as well as the viewers.  Art for me is a way of understanding the world and how i fit in to the world, how we all understand it and to be creative for me is a way of life that enables me to challenge this.
This last year I have moved, relocated, fallen in love with a amazing man, moved in with that man, got engaged to that man, got a dog with that man, got healthy, got fitter, improved my diet, and been kind to my self with a more mindful mentality towards my mental heath.
I believe that being mindful is a everyday necessity, and over this last year being kind to myself and mindful with everything I do has been most important.  Finding balance mentally and physically is being kind and the time spent doing this has been a time for excepting things about myself and others, understanding the past and how it has shaped who I am and letting it go with expectancy, understanding and not letting it become a weight that holds me back.

Normally I would be working all these things out whilst being creative, with my art through studies and  work, but I have completely taken the time out over this last year of being creative with my art to focus completely on balance for my mind body and soul.

So what now?  Now I feel ready to take hold of what I love most and what drives me as a person, to then make art and be creative and i can do this with the tools i have found and learnt from being mindful and kind to myself.  I believe this can only strengthen my art and by using the tools and what I have learnt i can continue to still learn and build on my mind body and soul and this will now reflect in my art. so i can the mindful artist a much more balanced creative to "Take Flight" as me with out fear and concern and to just do. and be the artist i want to be.
