Amen! Ditto for becoming an artist ;)

Very true...and as studio lolo says the same goes for an artist...and then do we leave it half way?

lolo- I totally agree with the artist take. So sweet of you to say that. Hugs.

Devika- a good point. I too needed to hear this, I'm delighted you found some inspiration here.

Joyful day to you both.

And why do you become a traveller, I wonder ?

margueritte- I travel to awaken dormant yearnings within, to find my edge, to explore the unknown, to let go of all my comforts, experience the sense of freedom travel brings, indulge in local cuisine, but mostly for the joy of meeting people and making connections. This, I find so very enriching!

And you?

For me, this is so very true.

If I don't write or say what God has given me, it builds up in my chest and just sits there heavy and uncomfortable.

camille- me, too.

bess- I have the same experience. I've got to get it out and onto paper to fully understand my inner world.
