This is wonderful, Jill! I love your response to this question so much!
As a 60 yo I'm always looking for stories about women who seemingly defy gravity by renewing or 'newing' their relationship with themselves and their creativity later in life. I think it's challenging to reject all the forces that seem to want to keep us from that. I feel the struggle of it often and love your guidance about how to push back and nurture that relationship.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughtful and wise words!
I'd love to share this with my life design students if it's okay with you?
As a 49 year old myself, so many parts of the question resonated with me. And your answer, Jill, is outstanding! As a creative who has recently returned to my practice after a break half as long as my years on earth, I can attest it’s never too late and you’re never too old. I feel as if my practice has been waiting patiently for all this time, and I’m so grateful we have finally reconnected. I’ve followed Jill’s advice and suggestions consistently for the last year+ and my practice—and my entire outlook—has flourished. I feel deeply connected to my creative work and always find ways to say YES to it (and no to the parts of my life that have the potential drain my batteries). It is a shift, for sure…but one that is well worth it. I now see a road ahead, where I have another 49 years to gloriously create!
I didn't ask that question, but I feel like the answer is just for me. As usual, you're so damn clear and concise and make so much sense. Thank you Jill xo
