Welcome

Welcome!

I was listening to the Adventures in Arting podcast and realized I suffered from what Julie Fei-Fan Balzer calls "Fear of Failure."  I was stuck in a rut.  Too afraid of trying anything new for fear I would waste time, money or energy that would be better spent elsewhere.  As I work to overcome that I also realized I give up too soon.  I was stopping at good enough when my very best was just around the corner!

I have a PASSION for all things creative and I get a nervous tick when I do not have a "project" in the works.  Yet I avoided creating and I was addicted to Pinterest.  Finally, I realized this was akin to treating a bug bite with poison ivy.  Pinterest is for inspiration and yet it was holding me back because there are so many wonderful ideas out there and I felt lost and not good enough.

I believe there are many people out there paralyzed by a fear of failure.  Stuck in a downward spiral of "not good enough" and "I don't want to try." I hope this blog champions those that are scared of trying, terrified at the possibility of failing, and addicted to all things Pinterest.
