The Journal Muse #12: Permission to Be Messy Let go of perfection. Invite in freedom. Dear Reader, When I first started painting in an art studio, I was always the one with paint on my forehead, on my fingertips, even in my hair. I looked around and saw others somehow staying clean and composed. So I tried to stay tidy too—more focused, more contained. But the moment I dipped into the flow, I forgot everything. Even my coffee sat untouched, cooling beside me. It turns out, mess is my...

I stopped asking, “How do I get there?” and started asking, “What’s the next step if this path gets blocked?”...
