Motherhood is probably the most creative thing you or I will ever do. Mom = ArtistĪnother thing I’ve realized as I’ve been intentional about adding art to our lives is that those two words, artist, and mom are really one and the same. Of course, it can be part of our lives during the years of mothering! In fact, I have found that making creativity part of our family life has actually added to my efforts – bringing me closer to the mom I want to be. Creativity is part of our heritage – it is at the core of who we are. That longing comes from the One who created us. That day I realized that the worlds of art and motherhood don’t have to be in competition with each other. One of the ways we find this is by creating things.” Our birthright-and the purpose of our great voyage on this earth-is to seek and experience eternal happiness. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. “ The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. One day I was re-reading an address given by one of my favorite spiritual leaders, Dieter F. I worried that a creative practice was frivolous considering all of the other ways I could be using my valuable time.īut, as you know, the longing to create never goes away. Making time for art seemed selfish when compared to my to-do list. Because for me, it felt that the two worlds were in competition with each other. I’ve spent years trying to figure out what it means to be an artist and a mom. But a creative practice seems to be the first thing to go in the midst of all the urgent and important demands in your every day, mothering life. You know that art and creativity make you come alive in a way nothing else ( except for maybe a nap) can. That smile on my face is the look of a delirious and tired woman. That time we had four kids ages 3 and under. Part of you wants to drink up every intense and beautiful moment while another part of you is guiltily wondering at what point you can jump off of the train to Crazy Town. I don’t have to tell you that the years of motherhood are demanding ( understatement). It’s enough to drive one mad! I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it.” “Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. I think Claude Monet captured our plight as busy, creative moms in this quote: We focus on how to make it happen in the midst of motherhood.

There are a lot of other names I go by but those are my favorites. For players who enjoy the challenge, the “night shift” mode should add an extra level of difficulty.Hello and welcome! I’m Hannah Stevenson mother of four, wife to a great (and very patient) guy named Jeff, paper doll maker, art and nature study teacher, and friend. Rhythm Doctor is an interesting game with a visually appealing art style, but some players may find the strict timing of the rhythm portion of the game a little frustrating in terms of difficulty. There is also a more challenging “night shift” version of each level. Each of the 20+ levels is handmade and comes with its own story, making the game also suitable for players who like a bit of a narrative experience with their games. The game sports a modern pixel art style, blending retro visuals with modern graphics. There are also boss fights of a kind, where a particularly nasty virus attempts to thwart the player’s efforts. The player must shock the patient in a particular rhythm that is unique to each patient and based on their heartbeat. The premise of Rhythm Doctor sees the player take on the role of a doctor who must save the lives of their patients from various ailments using a defibrillator.
