Expand Your Comfort Zone

By Melanie ⋅ 359 views since January 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Last week your task was to define your comfort zone, and this week your challenge is to go beyond your comfort zone. Whether it is using new materials, creating a huge mural, submitting your work to a juried show, or sharing your poetry with others for the first time ever, be inspired to shake things up a bit, dig deep, push past the fear and take the risk. Go for it!
