Yesterday’s revelation about my creative energy needing to be put on hold due to 0 time got me thinking about the times I had an almost infinite amount of time to draw. I spent hours pouring myself into this the night we found out my dad’s cancer would take his life.

I had never been more grateful for sketching as I was then. It got me through the toughest times. And Disney is my favorite to draw. I love the character designs created by them.

It’s hard to have to sacrifice something so deeply rooted in yourself for someone else. But my kids need a present mom who can focus on them. Covid has taken so many things away. And now I’ve discovered yet another thing it has taken. But my kids are worth it.

Now the challenge is to find the time to create. It’ll look different, more structured, which I hate, but it has to happen. It can’t hold it in. So, challenge accepted.
