Tuesday Truth.
Number 25.
Let that truth sink in for a moment…
I was recently reminded how much I enjoyed reading Big Magic when Erica commented on the Cheryl Strayed quote that I last shared.
This quote goes on to say “the hunt for those jewels – that’s creative living. The courage to go on the hunt in the first place – that’s what separates a mundane existence from a more enchanted one.”
I’ve had a chance recently to really think about the hunt for those jewels.
If you’ve been following me over on Instagram, you may already know that the hubby and I had a quick getaway down to Charleston, SC. It was planned at the last minute. The hubby started a new job this week. As such, we won’t be able to get away for our 20th anniversary on April 10th.
Big Mr. was also on his spring break so he was able to ferry Miss Sunshine to school and soccer practice. While I have traveled and the hubby has traveled, this was the first time we’ve both been gone overnight in the past 5 or so years.
Which is also why we drove down to Charleston instead of hopping on a flight to Puerto Rico ;). We needed a little warmth and proof that spring was on its way. Charleston did not disappoint and was absolutely gorgeous.
I’m editing the photos now so be on the lookout for a post in the near future.
During that time away, I found myself drawn back to telling more stories than I’ve recently told. And wondering if that half-written (ok, probably 1/16 written) work of fiction should be dusted off and given some of my attention.
I also love capturing and editing photos and yet they sit on my computer, not being added to my shop.
Why?
Fear of failure? Fear of judgment or rejection?
Take your pick.
She goes on to say, “Do you have the courage to bring forth this work? The treasures that are hidden inside you are hoping you’ll say yes.”
I’m hoping that I’ll say yes too.
And I hope you’ll be along for the journey!
Speaking of journeys…this Tuesday Truth series was born out of a truth that I wanted to speak into my brother’s journey. You can find that very first quote by clicking here.
If you’re wondering why I’m sharing that now, well, today is his birthday!! I know that I have some new readers. If you’d like to read a post a wrote about him back at the beginnings of this blog, then you can find that here.

But enough about me, I have a question for you!
Have you started the hunt for your buried jewels?
Find any good ones lately?
Let your light shine!
