The benefits of starting your creative endeavor as a parent

When I had a breakdown last summer the first thing that my husband suggested was that I write. He’s been my biggest supporter in this, he’s tells me I am a born author. And even though I’ve always imagined that I would write a book one day it was something I pictured myself doing when I was old and grey. But what I’ve learned from my husband and my sweet boys is that while it may seem to be the worst time to start my novel, it’s actually the best. So in a moment of clarity and gratitude for this beautiful and messy life I wrote down some of the benefits I’ve found from starting a completely new creative endeavor during what may prove to be the most inspiring season of my life.
