What a lie.

I’ve been believing this thought from the enemy recently. “You’re just not good enough to be an artist”

Every time I start to think…maybe that is true…God gives me a great gift. Without a doubt every time I have this feeling my 6 year old comes to me and says “you’re a great artist mom” in her sweet voice. And that’s really all I need to continue in those moments, because I want to be great for her, create gardens for her, and show her not to give up on her daydream.

... Read moreIn the journey of creativity, self-doubt can often plague artists, leading them to question their abilities and worth. It's crucial to understand that these thoughts are common and often stem from external pressures rather than personal skill. Many successful artists have faced similar struggles, using them as motivation to harness their creativity. The bond between parents and children can serve as a powerful source of inspiration. For instance, expressing your artistic endeavors can not only showcase your talents but also instill confidence in the next generation. It's important to create an environment where creativity flourishes and dreams are encouraged. Seeking out communities, whether online or offline, can provide essential support, offering spaces for collaborative growth and shared experiences. Remember, art is subjective; what matters most is the joy and purpose it brings to your life. Embrace your journey, share your voice, and let the encouragement of loved ones fuel your artistic expression. If you ever feel overwhelmed, take a moment to reflect on the positive feedback received from those who matter most in your life, just as the author does in their story.

Ate off this salad for 4 days no lie.
Probably the best salad to ever exist. I buy these from Whole Foods, they are on the pricier side but since it’s last me 4-5 days I would say it’s so worth it!! #whatieattostayfit #gettinghealthywithcourtney #healthydinner #whatieathealthy #saladbowl

A Clearblue pregnancy test displaying "Pregnant" on its screen, resting on a light-colored, ribbed fabric. Overlay text states, "I found a pregnancy test in my bf's car."
Why lie about buying it?
I was grabbing my bag from my boyfriend’s car yesterday and stumbled on a pregnancy test tucked in the glove box. My heart dropped like what in the world? I asked him about it right away and he was just saying no clue why that’s there and swearing it’s been years since he bought it. But this thi

Two Truths…But No Lie 🤭
