Last week I took a short break from blogging. It was an unintended break but a break just the same. Today I realized I missed blogging. So I am back and excited about writing again. Sometimes just a short break from something, even when we love doing it, is just what we need to get the creative energy flowing again.
Last week I decided to also take a short break from pastels. I thought I would try creating a zentangle. I read a little bit about them and thought that they were made for me. I was a great doodler in high school and still love to draw. In the short amount of reading that I did, it said the purpose of the drawing was to relax you, thus the name Zentangle. I enjoyed working on this tiny piece of art but soon realized that I was taking my zentangle just as seriously as I did my pastels. Since I am studying to be a creative coach with Jill Badonsky, I decided it might be just the right time to put into practice what I am learning. I stopped trying to make my zentangle perfect, took a deep breath, and enjoyed the time I spent creating. If you too have even a little bit of perfectionist in you, and who doesn't, maybe Jill's quote above will help you too. I hope everyone has a great week filled with special moments and creative endeavors. Talk to you again on Wednesday.

I took a workshop on Zendoodling, and I loved it. It looks extremely complicated but if you do it step by step, it's easier than it looks. I like what you did.
