Are you there World? It’s me, Nicci…

It’s funny what our brains can do to us or for us, isn’t it?

Here I am, safe at home, with some of my family right here with me. I have food, I have a cozy bed, safe walls round me, art supplies to play with and a world to virtually connect with. We are not at war. I am safe at home.

In truth, I am one very lucky lady, aren’t I? Don’t get me wrong, I know this. I do.

But lately I am getting more moments. Moments that make you wonder if it is worth it…all this work I am doing here in my tiny art studio. Creating highly discounted family friendly content (e-courses & art live streams) to help break up the monotony for others as they hang out in their homes.

Is anyone really enjoying what I am doing?

Am I helping?

Yesterday, I almost chickened out right before I was scheduled to go LIVE on Twitch and Facebook. I was shaking inside. What was I doing?

I looked at myself in the computer monitor, took a deep breath and clicked on the GO LIVE button.

The first sketch was a struggle. I was still self-doubting myself.

Then a funny thing happened.

People started to comment in the chat about how they liked my funky character sketch even though I did not.

My mood began to change. I was starting to feel better.

Someone was there with me & in their own way they told me that it was okay and to keep going forward.

We truly are all in this together.

It turns out that I was helping these people take their minds on a visual journey for a moment out of the day and also make them feel less alone.

We are all worth these moments in time. We all must put one foot in front of the other and just go for it. Who knows where one little decision will take you.

Just keep on keeping on.

Step – Leap – Jump!

I’m right here with you

xoxo

Nicci
