Why would listening be a gift? There could be so many answers to this question!
I decided to focus on listening as a Gift of Time for this month because we often live in such a loud world that I thought I would share with you my insights on living a more 'quiet' lifestyle. You may think that being quiet is the opposite of listening but the reality is, it is just a different way to listen.

About 6 months ago I was really struggling as a parent. I felt like every day was unbearably hard and I couldn’t quite figure out why. Yes, I have two young kids but I know plenty of people with more kids than me that seemed to be handling things just fine.
As I was going through this time I also kept asking myself why do I keep doing this art stuff? What am I trying to accomplish with it? Am I helping anyone? Does it matter? If I could give you a gift for February it would be 'Time to Spend With Loved Ones'.
I've never really cared much for Valentine's Day so this month's theme might seem a little hypocritical. However, this has been on my mind over the past few months for two reasons. Following the theme of 'Time to Rest' I have something for you that will help you find rest and help you in your art practice for this month.
Art Books! It's a gift to be able to relax. To pause, to listen to quiet, and to be still.
This year every month I will be sharing 'Gifts of Time'. To introduce a new year and the month of January I thought this gift of time was the most appropriate. 'Time to Rest' |
