Creativity is a way of life.
If we are true creatives, that spark... that joy and sense of expression leaks out into everything we do.
From making dinner, to what we wear.... to how we live.
And, as confident in our art (or maybe not)... we seldom trust our own instincts.
We don't trust our own opinions.
We are constantly looking for a guru, a teacher.... someone to show us the path in which we need to go. And the lesson most of us take away (once we really think about it)... is that there probably isn't any one person ... but an amalgamation of events... conversations... trials and errors.... that truly lead us. And tons of books, movies... friends... art.... and who knows what else... that inspires us... shapes us... and influences us.
March is a time of great change.
Weather is in great flux... animals are in waking up (and getting busy) mode...
Traditionally; it is a time of spring cleaning.... clearing out...
planting seed... and more.
So this weekend; I am thinking on ... things I want to do this year.
Goals to set... places I want to go... things I want to make... and more.
Once you know where you want to go... it's easier to make a map.
