I began beading 10 months ago and it has been like a life line. I found that at first it was very relaxing, the first time I had been able to turn off my brain. My first passion I had discovered was writing but then I discovered beading and it was wonderful because I really didn’t need to think like I did with writing, I didn’t need to plan too much. I just found the beads that interested me and somehow they would just seem to put themselves together while my brain had a holiday. It was like a form of active meditation and a great release. However as I have gone on, I have moved to greater challenges, and learn the art of patience and perserverence and thankfully at the end of most of the projects I have been reasonably happy with the outcomes. I do understand the feeling of being overwhelmed and would love faster ways of putting things together as I see them mist around in my head but alas back to reality. this is where the perserverence and patience comes in and the battle within, ‘ Im sick of doing this BUT I want to see what it ends up looking like, so I have to stay with it…then at last…FINISH. What a relief and surprise surprise, it doesn’t look too bad either. its encouraging to hear about other people’s stories and their experiences. I was happily lost in your passion for what you do. You have a wonderful talent and eye for beauty and I wish you all the success and happiness with your pursuits.
