One foot in front of the other


We’ve all been there, haven’t we?



A dance in the dark, a skip here and there.

It’s BIG. Oh yeah.

But then.



I’ll tell you where it might have gone:








Breathe in. And out.

Close your eyes.

Lie down.




No matter how small.

One step.

  2. This made me laugh because it’s so true. It happens to the best of us, but if we are able to take one step at a time then we can push forward. Knowing you are able to achieve something encourages you to achieve more!

  3. So true! Thank you for those thoughts, Amy! I feel a little bit less shitty 🙂 You always find a way to embrace with your words and to gently push forward with your encouragement at the same time! 🙂

  4. Thank you, Amy, for the great reminder that we are all human! Maybe artists are even more human than other humans? ; ) It helps to read posts like this, and the responses, to know that we can all get closer to our goals despite those pesky day-to-day obstacles.

  5. Totally agree. It’s so helpful to read these things sometimes to remind myself that there are more people in the world who struggle even with the small steps towards their goals. But once you start, it all flows, right?

  6. Yes, Yes and YES!!!

    This is my EVERY week, fretting about all my housework chores, shopping, washing ec, that I am not getting into my studio, and yet I put off getting on with my chores, going into my studio..and why??? Who knows.

    So, the chores can go suck it. I have a big bag of clay to make stuff with and that is what I am going to do today.
