The Secret to Being an Artist

You CAN be an artist, even if past experience has told you otherwise. The secret is – PASTELS! I have never been good at drawing or painting or pretty much anything artsy or craftsy. But I picked up some chalk pastels and tried some of the tutorials that Nana did on www.chalkpastel.com, and I became an artist! Since then I have tried many of her projects, and I have been happy with the results of my work. For the first time ever!

Join Nana’s Clubhouse Membership and start painting with pastel chalk. Find your inner artist that has been hiding, or indulge your already known artistic side right along with your children as they explore the fun and satisfaction of working with pastels.

The Difference Between Identity and Connection, Part 1

You have to have a good relationship with yourself to have good relationships with others.

The masculine emphasis is on identity.

Meaning and purpose are so important to men.

The female emphasis is on connection.

Women want to be connected and intimate with others. They are looking to connect.

We need both. Men are good at identity.

Women are good at connection.

But men need to learn how to connect, and women can help them with that.

And women need to learn their identity, and men can call that out for them.

Stars Should Make Others Shine

How we see each other should not depend on accomplishments, status, or success.

The stars get the credit, glory, and popularity, but they should lift up the people around them.

They should not see themselves as better or more important than others.

This is as prevalent in the church as it is in the world. Some of the leaders think of themselves as higher in importance than the average church-goer.

Their ideas and purposes seem to matter more than anybody else’s. They should see it as their job to encourage others to use their gifts, too, and give them opportunity or promotion of their endeavors.

We should all view each other as precious in the sight of God. We should highly value each person, whether they stand on a stage or they are unseen and unnoticed.

Treat everyone as celebrities.
