I have a ring that is very special to me. Recently the pearl fell out of the setting and was almost lost forever. Since then I have found myself wanting to keep my ring safe in my jewelry box. I peek in and admire it. Keeping my ring safe though, is not allowing me to enjoy it. I used to feel this way about my talent as an artist. I wanted to keep it safe in my own little world, peeking in to admire it. Keeping it safe though, was not allowing me to enjoy my talent to its full potential. It was not promoting growth. Sharing my talent with others has meant that at times it has gotten grimy, worn, and almost lost. It has also brought much needed growth, unspeakable joy, and lifelong friendships!
