Day 36: planting seeds 🌱

We are just over a third of the way through the project – congratulations 🥳! Whatever day you’re on, you’ve got more than a month of learning and experience to reflect on. 

Recap and reflect:

• How many days did you do your project this week?

• What are you learning about your style? 

• How are you and/or your work evolving?

• What’s next for your project?

Thank you as always to everyone who shared images or videos for the weekly Reel! Here’s where you can submit one for this week.

This week in the daily prompts our theme is practicing non-judgement. 

Here’s something I wrote a few years ago about the shame I felt over my unfinished projects, and the necessity of forgiveness in moving forward. That still feels true to me, but my feelings have also evolved into something else – something more like celebration.  

So, yes, I bought a sewing machine even though I don’t know how to sew. And the same for the knitting needles and the jewelry supplies and…all of it.

The benefit of time and experience is that now this little creativity graveyard feels less like a failure albatross around my neck and more like concrete proof of my optimism. Tangible artifacts of my desire to create. I like that about myself. I can celebrate that. 

• Is there something you need to forgive yourself for?

• What’s in your creativity graveyard?

• What do those things represent?

• Are you ready to celebrate a past failure?

You’re allowed to feel however you feel. There’s no rushing the process. Plant a seed of forgiveness and keep going.

XO,
Lindsay
