I’ve learned that perfection can be both good and bad. It’s great if you have plenty of TIME to fuss and change and rearrange, edit, erase, rewrite, color correct, start over. IF IF IF you have the luxury of never needing to finish anything!!!🤪

However in most life situations, this is not the case. In creativity, we must maintain a deep sense of calm fluidity.

(I wonder how many potential master pieces have been left incomplete?). And why?

Most likely I think, the reason creatives get stuck is not a lack of creativity. It’s the resistance to uncontrolled mistakes and possibilities—the “block” is a mindset of predictability and the illusion of controlling the outcome.

I’m short, PERFECTION creates doubt in ourselves and stifles our ability to ALLOW the art to unfold freely.

Let your work unfold and be willing to be pleasantly surprised by creating through your perceived f**k-ups😉

Embrace the words of the Buddha,

“Every morning we are born again, what we do today matters.”

Each new day is a fresh start, and this phase is a reminder to let go of the past and to focus on the present and future.

When you decide to release “in memory of" balloons, they don’t go where you hope and think they will. They usually end up in a field where livestock are. Often, young calves or goats will chew on/eat the balloons…

Ingesting plastic such as a trash bag or a balloon can cause intestinal blockage in animals. This may cause starvation. Some livestock may even choke on the balloon, causing a very painful death.

For wildlife and even PETS, they can become entangled in the balloon strings, causing them not to be able to move or even strangling them.

I understand the sentiment behind releasing balloons and the grief felt from losing a loved one. BUT there are so many other options!

- Plant a flower garden or make a rock garden in memory of a loved one.
- Plant a tree and watch it grow.
- Host an “In Memory” Celebration WITHOUT releasing balloons.
- Name a star.

Remember: releasing balloons may give you a moment of comfort, but somebody else may be hurt by the consequences.

EDIT TO ADD: This goes for trash bags as well. Please, don't dump out trash on the road side!
