I have tackled quite a few things over the last 4 years in an effort to find my creative voice. Over the last two years these changes have caused me to take a look at some of closest friendships and tell the truth about them... and let them go. It has been a lonely and sobering year and a half. When you choose to change, that choice can't help but affect the relationships you maintain. These changes give them an opportunity to deepen... or not.
2013 feels like a year of taking what I know to be true about my identity as a woman and as a Jesus follower and be at peace with them. To love who I am more deeply. To stop apologizing for it. I believe the work and the art I create this year will hold that deepening. And I will look on it and say, "Oh! that's why the change was needed."
