Interview - Liza Proch

Liza Proch, an artist from Texas, graciously gave her time to tell us more about her art, faith, & family.

What got you started in art?

I’ve loved art ever since I was little! My dad is an amazing artist, so being able to learn from him has been a huge gift. I’ve always loved experimenting with new techniques of painting, drawing, and lettering.

Who inspires you to keep going through with your dreams on the tough days?

My parents and siblings are the best cheerleaders. It’s so neat to be able to encourage each other in our creative pursuits, and inspire each other to push through the hard times!

You're known for your art, but recently got started with "Willow City." Can you tell us more about it?

Several years ago my three brothers and I realized we loved playing music together, and wanted to share that love with the world. We started Willow City, a pop-folk band, and have loved getting to tour around the U.S. sharing songs and the stories behind them!

What are 3 random facts that people probably don't know about you?

I’m terrified of armadillos (An armored-rodent type animal that plagues Texas. Haha)

I’ve always been really interested in going to Uganda.

I’ve always wanted a baby deer as a pet.

What do you want people to go away with after reading/hearing your content?

Inspiration. Each of us has unique qualities, and I think it’s so easy to get off track by comparing ourselves to others. I want to inspire others to use their gifts to glorify our Creator.
What's your favorite Bible verse & why?
Matthew 11:28-30: these verse are amazing! Such an incredible reminder from Jesus that, although life won’t always be easy, He promises to walk with us, teach us, guide us, carry us. And that’s with every moment of up-hill climbing!

Favorite color?

Blush!

Favorite restaurant?

Torchy’s Tacos!

A special thanks to Liza for her time & energy put into these questions!

The Inspiration Behind The “Hello Beautiful” Totes

Some of you may have noticed that I have taken a break from the blog. This is because of my new business venture. While the business itself has a story behind it, I wanted to explain the message that one particular tote I’ve created. Every time I scroll through social media, I see girls & women who seem to seek instant gratification via a post like or comment. It’s completely human to want to be seen by others. It’s the way we go about it that matters. My inspiration for the “Hello Beautiful” totes came at the beginning of the new year. I wanted to have something that would remind those around me (including myself), that no matter what others say about them, they are beautifully designed. https://www.facebook.com/boldandnewdesign/ 💗 Kelly

3 things I sometimes forget hen life is hard

2023 has been tough. It’s challenged me in ways I never expected. It’s gotten me thinking. We often blame God for bad circumstances and praise Him when things go right. I think there are 3 things we often forget easily: 1. God gives and takes everything with a bigger purpose in mind. Isaiah 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” 2. Trials are promised, not something we’re exempt from as Christians. James 1:2 Testing of Your Faith Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3. Jesus does understand His death was the most painful kind possible in His time and He was tempted just as we are. Matthew 4:1 The Temptation of Jesus “Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” That doesn’t mean that trials are fun to go through. It means we need a mindset shift. Instead of being surprised by them we should exp...

Don't Waste Your "Wait" 💎 Hannah Workman

When Kelly asked me to submit something for this blog I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about. I feel like I have so much, yet nothing to talk about all at the same time. So I decided to talk about something that has unfortunately been a huge part of my life, waiting. Waiting is horrible. No one enjoys waiting at the bank. Waiting in line at Disney for a ride is a nightmare with how hot it is. Waiting in traffic stinks. Waiting to hear results from a test drives you mad. The waiting is the worst. On June 20th, 2009 I married my wonderful husband surrounded by our friends and family. In March of 2011 we decided that we wanted to start a family. I imagined it would come easy for us, and that we would have enough kids to make a baseball team. I quickly learned that this would not be the case. After 6 very disappointing months, we went to the doctor’s office. She seemed optimistic that a few rounds of medicine would do the trick and we would be pregnant in no time. Six months o...
