It’s not working for me. The text. The colour. The positioning. It all needs rethinking.<\/span><\/div>\n

I asked Tom to talk with me about this and he agreed its not reconciled and encouraged me to rethink it and experiment more, which I have started to do. I’m grateful for that dialogue we had, it really helped me think. And I really am trying to sit more in the reality that there are no mistakes when I am developing my practise, just opportunities to evolve and mature. I recognize that I am by nature a perfectionist and a control freak and this leads me to want to have this really defined concept before I’ve even really started making. And this is backwards. My brittle idea about what I wanted to do stopped stepping into the delicious experience of experimenting. Of walking around the thing and looking at it from all angels. Of daring to trust myself. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
This is a manifesto statement: Beth, dare to trust yourself! Embrace making. Just showing up with curiosity and joy and bravery.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
This feels right and exciting. I am going to tell it to myself everyday. It’s already starred working. I’m testing fonts for the wimple. I am going to reconcile the absolute shit out of it.<\/span><\/div>\n
