Create Anyway – The Joy of Pursuing Creativity in the Margins of Motherhood

Motherhood and creativity can coexist. You have creative dreams swirling in your heart, but pursuing them while changing diapers and managing the carpool schedule feels impossible.You have no time. No space. You can mother, or you can create. You certainly can't do both (right?!). But what if you could pursue your God-given creative gifts alongside motherhood, for the enrichment of both experiences?What if you stopped viewing creativity as a selfish act, and started to see it as essential to your own flourishing as a mother?This book is a much-needed permission slip to do just that.With rich storytelling and stunning photographs, writer and mother Ashlee Gadd helps you set aside the guilt and discover the sacred connection between creating and mothering.One-part commissioning, one-part pep talk, Create Anyway will propel you forward with a renewed sense of energy, purpose, and enthusiasm for stewarding the creative dreams God has planted in your heart--right alongside the diapers and carpool. Here's to creating in the margins of motherhood. Here's to creating anyway.
