What is it about the blank canvas that intimidates so many of us? Shouldn't we be giddy with excitement from all the endless possibilities that await us? A fresh start, shiny and new, why would that be scary? I don't know why, but it is, and it has held me back countless times, including starting this blog. We just need to remember that we all have so much to offer and share with one another. Whatever your passion might be, it's your responsibility to get it "out there" and share it with others. We're all in this together, so be gentle to each other and to yourself. Silence your fears and get started.

Blank canvas
"The blank pages beckon, and from a tender place inside the heart, there comes a gentle voice longing to be heard. Let this then be the time to touch your thoughts, and begin." - Flavia
