I was never good at sports. I run & the only reason is because it doesn’t require too much coordination. My mom saw that in me at an early age & really encouraged my artistic side. So I can totally relate to the gifts of art lessons, lovely paints, molding clay. I’m so thankful for that. Glad I found your artful site. You are one creative lady!

I was the odd man out too. Although my family wasn’t short of creative types. My mom was as crafty as can be (and still is to this day), my brother was a musician, and my sister came out later in life as a fine art photographer.

But being the artist helped develop me as a person, I would never change it or exchange it for anything else. My parents were supportive of my choice (or unknown path) and continues that way to this day.

Great post Stephanie!!!

I loved your article and can totally relate. Gymnastics was the sport of choice for me and they allowed me to be on the team. The word allowed is an appropriate choice because I was terrible at it and surely they just felt bad for me. It was fun to watch anyway

Ashley, your comment made me laugh out loud “I once tried out for basketball and they politely told me to never try out for a sport that requires coordination again”

Thank you again for a wonderful story

thanks ashley ; ) yup. i was not a star athlete. i was just OK. had a few lucky moments here and there, but nobody was recruiting me, that’s for sure! that “polite” recommendation is hysterical! guess we got coordination more in our fine motor skills than our gross ones. that’s ok. beyond some friendly backyard volleyball, i don’t crave sports so much anymore…..just DRAWING/PAINTING….maybe sewing?! : )

Well, I’m supposed to be working but I got sucked in. Love this….I can relate 100%. I’m so glad you were “so-so” in sports too….we are kindred spirits I once tried out for basketball and they politely told me to never try out for a sport that requires coordination again…..or risk certain embarrassment. I’m SUPER glad you had so much time to spend on your artwork……I see big huge things in the future for you Mrs. Corfee
