In this episode Dionne talks about Cultivating and Stewarding Inspiration and how we have to  guard it fan it  contemplate  it And our connection and health of our relationship with God is key to all of it and it shows in our art. She discusses something she calls exhausting or thoroughly examining topics or creative projects. This can put us in a place of "Divine Frustration" but if we persevere through the transition and yield to the "frustration" it will produce incredible results.  She describes inspiration to striking a match and how if we just watch it burn and not steward it, the inspiration will not manifest and it will burn out and have been just a nice thought.  She touches on a challenging subject of abandoning ship early or stopping before we reach the blessing and likens this to the story in the bible in John chapter 5 - The man by the pool of Bethesda. She shares her very real and vulnerable points of her own story of how she has to guard herself against self sabota

In this episode, I identify something I call "The Holiday Ball". That frantic cycle of process and productivity that can make you feel overwhelmed this time of year. I discuss Identifying mindsets about "value" and the "push to please" on demand. By choosing to focus on value over volume we take the focus off of revenue and define the true meaning of value. Searching for the deeper and greater meaning of art and artists - learning to appreciate the gift and the "Gifter". I compare this understanding and mindset to a parable about "rare value" "The Pearl of great Prize” and the pressure and process it must go through to be of value. Learning that "Pressure without growth is purposeless". Speaking from personal experience. I hope you enjoy this insightful message from my heart. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dionne-white/support
