I love this. I have followed my heart into two wonderful spaces - ballet and then writing. But in between, I worked in IT, not because I loved it but because it took time to find the "luck" that carried me into writing. I think an intimate part of following your heart is to never give up through the difficulties that will certainly arise, especially if you belong in the arts. I embrace the idea that "living an artistic life is the surest way to hear oneself think." Yes! No matter what art form you choose or chooses you. (Also love the bears!)
Thank you for your thoughts and experiences about this, Terri. Maybe being on the lookout for one's purpose and then committing to fulfilling it isn't always a straight line, but as you say, the core of it is knowing that you're going to follow it even if there are side-journeys from time to time. :) I love that you have done just that!
Love this! And bear season 🐻🥰🩰
😄 To be honest, it's bear season year-round here, but we definitely see them MUCH more in spring and summer!
The little cubs look so darling 🥹🐻
