Happy New Year!
Day 1 of the new year comes with a surge of creative energy and the willingness to try again. Try again on art projects that have been put aside, and trying again on shaping this thing called life into a rewarding experience. It is a challenge to keep going in a 24/7 culture with so many demands on our all too human capacities. What happens when we make sure we take time out to be creative and produce something every day? It's been proven that meditation is beneficial to one's health. Being a non-meditator (despite being a great napper!) I have found that taking time to make artwork, to get lost in the process, is centering, stress relieving, and beneficial for me. The challenge is finding time...but isn't 15 minutes available to everyone?
Happy New Year!
