Why Cute Matters

A couple of years ago I rebranded myself as "Because Cute Matters" and I have been wanting to share why I chose that name for a while now, so it's about time I did. The first time I heard the phrase "cute matters" was from Stacy Julian at a Close To My Heart convention. I loved the phrase so much I started using it a lot. As I would craft with friends and we would share our finished product, you would generally hear me say "That's so cute, and cute matters!" I began to realize how I felt when I would finish something that felt "cute" to me, it made me so happy! For someone who struggles with depression, having that burst of happy feelings from creating or seeing something "cute" was so good. But it wasn't until I was on a trip with my friend Crystal that I realized the impact "cute" can make on a person. We were at Disneyland for a Senior trip for our children.

Learning to Be Me: Mini Album of Me

Many years ago I was talking to my therapist and she suggested that maybe I needed to bring what I was working on in therapy to my creative life. At the time I said no, I thought I needed to take my creativity into my therapy life. Many years later, I am realizing she was right, I need to bring what I have learned in therapy and created into my creative world (which is with all of you). My therapist loves to give me creative tasks to do as I process stuff and, truthfully, I'm not sure if she does that with everyone or just me because she knows being creative is something I love. As I have thought about this the last several months while I've been on what I'm calling an "accidental sabbatical" while I worked through things that were happening in my life, I thought about the different projects I have done in the past and ones that I still want to do as part of my therapy. You all know that I truly believe that Cute Matters and as I thought about that and how I wante...
