Thank you so much. I know the work I am doing is so important. The world needs it. So no regrets. I’ve been thinking more that I will spend the next year throwing and recycling so I can really focus on my throwing skills without being burdened by the thoughts of finished product.

Ok, off to load the kiln. I’m excited to see some of the newer work come to life.

What you are doing as a wellness coach is so important. So I don’t worry that you will lack fulfillment in your creative sharing side. But when you say “Honestly, I realized the world didn’t need another half-baked potter” I have to disagree. The world needs more handmade carefully crafted pots of every stripe. And yours have been an incredible contribution to the beauty of the world. I have enjoyed peering over your shoulder throughout your creative journey, and I hope that you find time and circumstances that will allow you to continue. How the folks at that studio failed to find encouragement for you staggers belief. You have such a powerful vision and a strong voice about what you are doing, they should be falling over themselves to make it happen for you.

So, my thoughts are with you. Good luck in all your endeavors. I’m rooting for you!

Thanks for your kind words. And no worries. And I will still blog here. Just not with a lot of frequency. Even if I just throw and recycle for a while like Ruthanne Tudball did, I will keep my hands dirty.
