🌿 A Gentle Beginning
There’s a myth many of us swallowed whole:
That real art must come from struggle.
That to be noble, we must be broke.
That beauty and wealth can’t walk together.
But love—that’s a lie rooted in systems that benefit from your scarcity.
You don’t have to starve to be sincere.
You don’t have to suffer to be sacred.
You are allowed to thrive in your expression.
💫 Art, Value, and Enough
Creativity is divine.
It’s how the soul speaks.
And yet… so many creatives feel guilt around charging, earning, receiving.
But money and art aren’t enemies.
Money is a resource that can nurture your creativity, not corrupt it.
Let’s reframe:
- Pricing your work is not greed—it’s generosity.
- Charging for your gifts isn’t selling out—it’s showing up.
- Receiving money for your art is honoring the energy you gave.
Your creativity deserves to be held.
🕯 Try This
Reflect on your creative life and ask:
Where have I made struggle a part of my identity as a maker?
What would shift if I believed my creativity was worthy of support, rest, and wealth?
How would I price my work if I believed it was holy?
Then, say this to yourself:
My art is worthy of support. My soul’s expression is valuable. I am allowed to receive.
Let that truth sit in your chest like sunlight.
🌙 Parting Thought
You do not have to bleed for your brilliance.
You are allowed to create from wholeness, from delight, from flow.
Let your art feed you—and let it be fed.
