SPARK & MUSE

are your barriers real or imagined?

Posted on November 18, 2019 by Lisa Lillibridge/Dakota 1966

I’ve had a really hard time getting out of my own way lately. So, I asked myself this very question.

OK, Lisa, are they real or imagined?

Damnit, I had to answer honestly…most of them, of course, are imagined.

They aren’t barriers per se, they’re just excuses—everyday run of the mill, tried and true excuses I’ve used for years and years and will continue to use far too frequently. However, now I have to face at least a little personal accountability, especially around my creative goals.

So, what barriers are you willing to bust through to reach your goals?

My twin girls are graduating soon and I’m feeling nostalgic.

I’m not surprised I had a little trouble prioritizing things this week.

I focused on this instead, the other stuff will get done somehow.

Getting up at 4:15 to paint with the birds chirping was pure joy.

Below is the evolution & some details of the painting.

I haven’t felt “painterly” for a long time.

I do now.
