Over this last 18 months that has been hard to do. Maiwa started offering classes online and when one piqued my interest this fall I signed up right away. I miss being in Vancouver, meeting others in the studio, and picking up a chai at one of the coffee shops on Commercial avenue on my way down the hill to class. I do have the chance to learn something new, try new techniques, and use my studio in a new way, a virtual classroom. When I signed up for the class I decide to treat it like a regular class, completing the technique the week they were are shown, reading the questions & comments that are posted, and starting my morning with a chai. I’m learning a lot, enjoying the format of the online class, and beening inspired to try some new things. It’s pushing me in new directions and that is a good thing.
After 18 months of keeping my world small I am taking small steps to reach out there and make it larger again, I know it might be hard. The challenge I am setting for myself and everyone is to step out of your comfort zone, try that new thing, take that class you always wanted to (even it it’s a virtual class) go to that new restaurant your friend to you about, you will be glad you did.
“Stay curious, keep learning, and keep growing. And always strive to be more interested than interesting.”
