This past week Rhonna has been sharing on her blog a Creativity Week.
A*maz*ing!
Her words have imparted such an amazing power that not only encompasses for me a creative life...
but they are finding themselves overflowing in my whole life.
inspiration.
perspiration.
innovation.
so far she has been sharing these insights. (as she says 'to be continued'.)
and i have to tell you...
they are at serious work in my heart and soul.
i keep thinking about the other day.
sunday.
i often get more time in my studio.
and this past sunday was no exception...even had a little friend join me for some of her own art time...
anyhow...
i just kept stumbling...
had ideas...
but they would not work...
they would not find the vision i had in my head.
so i would set something aside for a time...
and go on to another project...
same thing...
it just would not flow for me.
so again...
set it aside...
and either get up and get something to drink...
or dance wii with my teen daughter (which i won everytime thank you very much)...
or play with the baby...
and then i would get back to it.
the theme that kept coming back to me was 'what am i learning?'
even though my creative attempts were failing...
they weren't failures.
do you hear the difference?
i kept summing up what I was learning...
what i would do next time...
how the process could be improved...
i was definitely practicing perspiration...LOL...
no...seriously...
i need to work more on gathering that which inspires me...
and later in the day when i did that...
when i honed my ideas down...
ta-dah! the inspiration really went to work.
i also had to practice being still...
for me that was setting aside something that was not working
to take it up later.
to be more refreshed in spirit and ideas...
and then to often find i would go in a different way altogether...
and the being still worked through the night as i slept too!
i woke the next morning with many ideas moving through my mind...
a re-shaping of thoughts from yesterday...
that just might see the light of day today.
how exciting is that?
her words could NOT have come at a better time...
i am seeking.
i am striving.
i am endeavoring to find my voice in a renewed way...
plus having goals out there that scare the ba-jee-bees out of ya really lights a fire too!!!
{more on that later..}
