So happy for you!
Yes, so well said!!!
I saw a resurgence of my Creative Self as well - although it's still a work in progress for me since I still have a hard time seeing myself as "creative" or valuing the time spent in that way.... but I've learned that I AM massively creative in untraditional ways.
Have any of you been around long enough to remember a member named LaTeeDa? As part of her recovery process she ended up retiring earlier than planned from her career to pursue the artistic side of herself that she'd abandoned long before. She was just about done posting here regularly around the time I became active & her story was magnificently inspiring to me. She showed us all how possibilities become realties and nothing is too far out of reach with enough determination & grit.
Seriously, her historic posts are worth a read & her photography is breathtaking: Advanced Search/ this forum/ threads started by LaTeeDa.
