Thanks, Jane. It sometimes helps me to pray for an “anointing” of the Holy Spirit before I write. Helps me to take more wild risks as the beloved!!

In doing so you have written a great post that is truly inspirational and helpful. It raises challenges and also offers liberty to be true to the muse within. How easy it is to become our own sternest critic and in doing so potentially undermine and prevent the best work we have from coming to life. 🙂

It is such a great reminder — one I very much need today. I think my inner critic has been on a lot lately in regard to writing and drawing….I’m going to put her to sleep right now. Thank you!
