Stretching wings

Jamie Ridler's Wishcasting Wednesday invites us to share how we 'wish to stretch'.

I feel like I'm a story that still needs to be told*. We got past the once upon a time bit many magical moons ago, but the heroine's still on quest to find her true direction. She's been solving quests, fighting off monsters and map wandering for a long time now.

Today work can only be described as miserable. My story should not be dreary and grey, it should be catching rainbows and getting sprinkled with sparkling drops of colour. I am not stretched in my current job - I'm not even gently pulled!

I want to stretch my creative muscle - to take on what I finally understand I was meant to do - I want to write, to paint and create. If I don't stretch myself this way for at least one year of my life then I will never forgive myself. Life is for living.

Tonight I start my Art Journaling Supernova online class - what a wonderful way to stretch - I'm limbering up already. I may pull a few muscles on the way but a little bit of pain is all part of the learning. I'm looking to that finishing line and plan on crossing it whooping and cheering.

* I read this line today on Kelly Rae's blog and it had me leaping out the chair shouting YES YES YES - Me toooooooo!
