A New Creative Project Just for fun
I was recently so inspired by two of my mentors, Dan Blank who helps creative professionals, and also Cynthia Morris who is an amazing illustrator, plus many other talents, that I wanted in too.
They have each begun doing more videos – Dan helping encourage creatives in various ways – and Cynthia doing videos on what she has dubbed “creative quickies.”
Of course, being a creative myself, I thought, hmmmmm, how can I be of inspiration and encouragement to others?
And so I began experimenting with what I call Joyful Pause moments via video. I did begin by calling them Meditative Moments, but then thought, dah, I should really call them Joyful Pause moments instead…it’s more in align with what I’m all about here!
Like I said…these are experiments, so “mistakes” will be made.
But it’s all about weaving more creativity into our lives and fits right in with learning to pause more often and insert moments of joy into our daily, busy lives–and as you know, much of that I’ve learned from the PAWS in my life with my dogs.
I hope you will enjoy the first three videos I’ve done. I will be updating the sideline of my website each time I post a new video for you to enjoy or you can also follow along on my YouTube channel if you wish, too.
Here’s to more Joyful Pause moments!
Following an Impulse Can Be Messy
Two or three times I year I get an impulse that I just have to change my writing cottage around.
With six windows in a 10 x 12 room it can be a bit challenging – and it can only be arranged in so many different ways.
But when the impulse hits, I try to honor it. Like it did this morning as I ate my breakfast.
I had something else totally planned for the day. But knew I best honor this feeling that I needed to freshen up my creative space…or it would continue to hang around in my mind until I did. Now that can get messy! Ha!
It’s a whirlwind trying to move around all the furniture I have in such a compact space, but I love how the new energy feels once I’m done.
Now I sit here relishing in the new flow and have no doubt new creativity will follow soon, too.
