I usually blog each Monday but this past Monday was my birthday. I decided to give the whole day to myself. No computers, no emails! Birthdays should be a day you give to yourself the gift of celebration, belief in self while wrapping yourself in love. On my birthday I always give myself a gift. I try and find something that is beautiful and makes me feel special…..this year it was a gorgeous soft cadmium yellow scarf with curled edges that looks and feels like spring.
My puppy Emma gave me a great gift…..she went to doggy daycare for the day!!!!
As I age I look back to see the patterns in my life. We all have personal patterns …. some are good, some bad. These patterns teach us who we are. The patterns we develop in our ever day life also flow over into our creative life.
This past weekend I taught a Collage and Design workshop to a group of gals who fed my soul. The energy of the group seemed to grow as each day progressed. Collage papers were everywhere. Laughter, frustration, laughter, frustration. The collages were stunning and the smiles told it all. Some were already into creating but others awakened a sleeping giant within their soul. Watching as a whole new world is being born is a treat like no other.
I will be teaching workshops in Taos, New Mexico this summer. They will be posted soon in case you are interested.
