What is success and does it make us happy? / November 28, 2017 by Esther Loopstra

What is success?

I’ve been thinking a lot about the word success. What is success and does it really make us happy? A lot of "successful" people don’t feel fulfilled when they reach their goals. Have you ever achieved a goal and then felt like it just wasn’t enough?

Many times we measure success by what we see others doing or by what other’s will think about us. We compare ourselves and then say “They look successful, I want to do that!” This can be good, because it can give us a goal to shoot for, but it also can be dangerous because we loose sight of what is actually important to us. And we forget to embrace the real reason we began doing something in the first place.

How to start something new / November 4, 2016 by Esther Loopstra

It starts with an inkling… an idea…what if I tried THIS? Maybe you want to try a new medium or you haven’t drawn in a really long time and feel like giving it a go. Maybe you saw an ad for a ceramics class and thought it would be fun. I believe that there is always a reason that we are drawn to try new creative things. Our Inner artist is always looking for new ways to be inspired. Even if you don’t feel like you are creative, there is a voice inside of you that wants to explore.
