I think it is absolutely wonderful how you are helping the world through your art. You are a phenomenal being and I am grateful for you and for your community which I believe is a blessing to me and many others. <br />Take Care,<br />Jenny G.Jenny Gargarellohttp://journalworkshops.ning.com/profile/JennyGargarellonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218211723222427302.post-46487640264945183662016-08-12T17:09:55.095+01:002016-08-12T17:09:55.095+01:00I cant seem to access the video.

Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with creative inspiration. I'm an artist who's quite a bit older than you and if it's one thing I've learned;you can't be creative on demand all the time. Inspiration is just that and if it's not coming you just have to wait.

It happens, and you usually bounce back stronger and wiser. It's just part of being creative. I usually find that when I am in a slump, I have some sort of breakthrough at the end of it, and go deeper/ in a new direction that I couldn't have imagined.
