Biting the Illustration Bullet

[wayfaringwordhack]

I have been talking for years about wanting to illustrate my children's stories, and I work on that goal as life allows.  Which sometimes is not very much.  It is too easy to push it aside in favor of more urgent things.

However, my friend H shared an announcement about an illustration workshop happening next week.  J* convinced me to sign up for it.  And I asked H to sign up, too.  I need handholding. :D

So now we are waiting to see if there is space for us.  If so, we will be in class Monday-Friday (35 hours) next week.  Should be a big boost to make headway with all these dreams.

* Whether H and I get to do it or not, I want to take a moment to praise and thank our husbands.  As soon as I started hemming and hawing over it, J said I definitely should.  Then he messaged L, H's husband, and said, "I can do childcare these three days, can you take the other two?"  We have six kids between us. :D

It is no small thing to have spouses who love and believe in you and actively seek to make your dreams happen.  H and I are so grateful for ours. <3

Having a supportive spouse makes a HUGE difference. They are pearls beyond price, truly.

**fingers crossed for you**

Huge, huge difference!

I figure that even if the workshop doesn't pan out, I can use this as motivation to get back into it. :)
