Today marks my first ever blog post! EEEEKKKK scary.
Its feels a little different to writing post on facebook, seems more serious and is taking up more brain power.
I struggle (and for those who know me ANNOYINGLY struggle) with confidence in my art. I love painting and couldnt imagine life without it but the little voices of doubt and fear are consumimg me to the point of sleepless nights, headaches and a constant feeling of scardy pants syndrome.
To the voices I say….. ENOUGH!!!!
To myself I say ……TOUGHEN UP!!!!
What have I got to lose by putting my art out there? I wont lose a limb (unless by feak accident) and I feel its time to see if it can go somewhere.
Flying Lessons is an ecourse by talented artist and creative biz whizz, Kelly Rae Roberts. She is inspiring and her infectious writing and love is getting into my head and soul. The group of attendees are awesome, talented and supportive which makes the journey smoother.
With my new found knowledge I hope to bite the bullet, get my butt into action and make my dreams reality

HIPPOCROCADUCK 
Woohoo. Congratulatins on your first blog post. Love it.
Congratulations on your brave new leap of faith. The first step is always the hardest. Now go live your dreams and fly! I’m looking forward to seeing your artwork. 🙂
Loved your post! Now you’ve taken the first step, the next ones will be easier!
Go girl, go girl, go, go, you are ready to fly.!!! Congratulation for your first post, the first one in a ton of feelings and creativity.
Great job! Sometimes just taking that first step is the hardest. In no time it will get easier, I hope, as we learn to fly.
Authentic n Perfect!
Hi Em,
It’s a great step you’re taking! I say be gentle with yourself, and tough on those doubt voices. Blessings on your journey. (I’m in Flying Lessons too, btw) 🙂 “Paint often, and joyfully” … a quote I read once from an artist named Helain McLain. 🙂
Thanks so much everyone 🙂 Theres lots to learn with this blogging thing but im looking for adventure in my 30s so time to start this party lol 🙂
Don’t you just love the exhilarating feeling you have now? I’m so used to one of my little pre-K tikes coming up to me at school and asking, “Teacher, teacher, did I did good?” So, Ems, you did better than good…you started!! Congratulations from a Flying sister!
Too sweet Ruth, Thankyou x Kids have a lot to teach us when we grow up dont they lol
You can do it Em! Congrats on your first blog! I’m still learning where to put “buttons” etc. Yay for progress! =)
I know there is so so so much to learn 🙂 Its nice to be able to bounce ideas off and get help from others in the same boat x
Congratulations Em! You have always been going somewhere, but now you are “flying to places”. Love to see you do this, reminds me of my first blog post 🙂

Congratulations on your first blog post! Love that ‘not losing a limb’ reference…. that puts it all in perspective. Happy Flying!
