Week two of the new year has come and gone. I had a gloriously indulgent time of meditation and creativity this week. I am doing a pretty good job of relishing each moment before my schedule kicks back into a higher gear with commitments (i.e. more regular employment ☺.)Here’s a recap of a bit of what transpired this week:
- 29 morning pages
- a self-care day for the "artist" (massage, afternoon date with hubby and an evening alone watching 3 episodes of Six Feet Under)
- created “space” by painting new room & sorting through old craft supplies
- attended the fabulous soul collage class on Saturday and a mini-workshop on Thursday evening
- purchased two new art books: Soul Collage by Seena B. Frost and Visual Chronicles by Linda Woods & Karen Dinino
- took my first café writing challenge and unintentionally explored my ‘romantic’ side through collage, poetry and scene writing
- had fun playing with haiku as I worked with a soul collage card
- discovered a new musical artist, Sia. my favorite tune so far is "Day Too Soon."

Well, baby, thank God for women like you posting about their weeks. It will give encouragement that I again will experience such weeks :)
My wheels have fallen off a bit. So much going on in my personal life. I have a touch of a cold and my period is coming. Still doing my morning pages, but having trouble getting those artist dates in.
So thank you for the rundown - your week sounds fabulous :)
Creativity is very important to me right now...as in creating something. Some technological improvements. I bought a small tape recorder at Rite Aid and I think Dennis will install our (now inert) scanner on my computer.
I'm thinking of developing a section on my blog called "my neighborhood" looking at my own neighborhood as a microcosm and a community. It's not as cohesive as it once was. I want some practice interviewing and writing profiles.
As always, my theme is the fascinating world we inhabit.
Now, if I can keep my job unobtrusive. Most of my teenagers who have been living here are now away.
Yay Lucy! This feels like such a great space for you.
oh, sue--i know i will have those weeks myself when "the wheels come off the wagon" and hopefully i will look back here and remember that has not always been the way it is. check out sunday's quote...this one's for you, baby!!
azure--sounds like lots of great creative juices flowing for you. i love the idea of looking at your neighborhood as community!
tess--i am not sure whether to hug you or strangle you since i am now obsessed with "visual chronicles" thanks to your recommendation :-)
i look forward to seeing some of you creative results, because i know they are there!!!
xoxoxox to all!
Yipppeeeee - I love the quote and the week sounds fantabulous - oh, yeah, ow I'm making up my own vocabulary!! Seriously, congrats on a great week.
My achievement for the day was 5 minutes ago inserting an html where it should have been to get my reference to show up in blue!
Week #3 I think is going to be a great blog week for me - inspiration from you, without a doubt.....
