Priority

For the artist, there is an eternal "itch" that needs to be satisfied. There were times in my life, when, due to the demands of children and their needs, I had to give precedent to them. Satisfying the "itch" was given way to opportunities to engage them in the experience of a creative expression, I was able to sneak in a creative moment with them engaging in their own self-expression. It comes, whether or not, it is a time that is "perfect" or planned; it "comes."

Now as a mother of adult children, I have had the privilege of watching them engaging in their own self-expressions in the arts. And when, as Lacey says that she isn't artistic, she encourages her own children to draw, color, paint and other self-expressions. (Boys have unique of making their mark in this world). Libby and Rachel have different creative expressions, but they are uniquely theirs. I enjoy them both. It will be even more exciting to see what they do in the future.
