Making time for the things that are important to me is a constant. This is probably true in your life too! Time is a challenge, but we always make time for the things that are important to us. With people and activities that are important, there will always be time, it’s just a matter of priorities.

Creative Affirmation

Today I am making time to create.

Often when I tell people that I love to make quilts, an initial response is – “Wow – I love it but I don’t have time to do that!” – Internally I think, I don’t either, BUT it’s important to me, so I make space in my calendar. And that is really the crux of the matter – scheduling and creating space to be creative. When I haven’t had a creative session in a while – everyone around me knows and encourages me to get to the cutting mat or sewing machine.

For me, it’s essential to write it down, and commit to the hour or two without other responsibilities or interruptions. Of course, things come up and it can be rescheduled, but when I’ve committed I do my best to stick with the schedule.

How much time are you making to create? 20-minute pockets can be even more effective if a 2-hour window is elusive in your days. Using the little snippets as they arise offers more momentum day to day as well.

Cheering you on as you create –
