Open Wings
Painting by Heather Harrington | Titled: Open Wings | Acrylic on Stretched Canvas 6” x 6” 5/8” depth
I painted this mini painting on our trip to Cape San Blas, Florida.
We took our first big family road trip. I survived… and learned something unexpected.
18 hours in one day, is a long time to spend in the car with your husband and 3 kids.
Especially when your husband puts on his podcast for everyone’s listening enjoyment.
I audibly exhaled as he put it on.
I then proceeded to roll my eyes. This road trip seemed to get longer. Not shortly after however, I’ll admit, I pulled out my pen and notebook and I started taking notes.
The episode featured Callie Schweitzer, Senior Marketing Editor at LinkedIn News, who I found very entertaining and offered some great insights on how to frame your writing for LinkedIn. She was a delight to listen to and Jay and Tom weren’t too bad either ; )
I don’t often listen to their podcast because frankly, I’m not a lawyer and I hear a lot from Jay living and working with him everyday! But what I learned caught me by surprise.
Sometimes we get into our own listening routines and don’t open ourselves up to new things because we think we already know what to expect.
This experience reminded me to keep an open mind. To be open to where lessons can come from. Even if they happen to be coming from your husband!
The painting above I painted while on our trip to San Cape Blas Florida. It is titled “Open Wings” I hope it brings some enjoyment to your day and that it reminds you to spread your own wings!
