I decided that it was time to be brave and take definite steps into organizing/cultivating my creative side. So I'm diving into {stargardener's} right brain planner . I'm exciting and looking forward to what unfolds. While I have tried tapping into a few resources, I've let other aspects of life push these attempts aside. So enough with the excuses. It's time to put me first. This is just the first step. I've also decided to take part in Find Your Voice . xo Alicia
