These past few days I've been helping a friend do some organizing and packing...
and because she is a "morning person"... I've had to be one too.
For those of you who know me; you know that I am definitely NOT a morning person.
Even as a child; I had to be dragged from my bed ... and did best on my homework, late at night (and usually last-minute).
As an adult; I worked night-shift for the better part of 17yrs or so... and still prefer to get up at the "crack of noon" ... if given a choice.
But not this week.

It's really hard to step out of your comfort zone.
Sometimes, excruciatingly so.
But it is these "stepping out" points that can bring the best results, stretch you the most... and provide the most inspiration.

So for today... I am encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone a bit.
Make something different! Try a new technique... or use a different material.
Or even... apply to that magazine you've always wanted to be in... or submit something in a contest.
You just never know.
