HOW ART IS MAKING ME BRAVE

I am not a particularly practical person. If something breaks or stops working around my house, I contact the real estateย  so they can send someone to fix it for me. If my computer plays up, I call one of the IT techs at Guide Dogs so they can talk me through the process of fixing it.

In the last two or so years Iโ€™ve been a part of Art Mania however, there has been a shift. As part of the creative process, Iโ€™ve used drills, hammers, saws and more. Inside I was quivering as I tried each of these things for the first time.

I was elated when I successfully threw off that fear and achieved my goal.

This has made me a braver person. It does on occasion worry others, but Iโ€™m taking control and completing tasks around my home now that I never thought I could do.

Why am I writing about this today? Because for the first time ever, I fixed a blocked sink without any help. Well I did get help to know what to do and to purchase the product I needed. After that though, I was on my own, and I know I wouldnโ€™t have done that if it wasnโ€™t for all of the firsts and goals Iโ€™d achieved as part of the Art Mania family.

Perhaps I could try cleaning out the gutters next โ€ฆ only joking! โ€ฆ maybe โ€ฆ
