I've scribbled the alphabet for meaning since I can remember.

Let Creativity Reign

"A lot of creativity is about being in a network and... not so much about being this lone genius; it's much more about being connected." - Austin Kleon

I decided to spend more time developing my artist self this summer - in an easy, simple and just for myself kinda way. I did have my friend Damini Celebre's book Painting the Landscape of Your Soul  as my chosen guide. One reason I picked her book was that she told me to get kid's supplies, and the other was it is beautiful, like her, and the third - I respond to outside motivation and structure - plain and simple.

Guess what? It's fun.


Opening back to Art inspired me to invite a few new guests, add some sparkles and a little restructuring to re-open What's Your Story?: An Online Experiment in Creativity, starting August 6th - 22nd.  Registration is open  (see below).

In the spirit of gratitude and inspiration,  here is a varied list of creative resources for you. It's summer for most of us, and Mother Nature is in her full strength and playful grace -- what beauty are we creating and sharing along with her? Let the Creative Muse whisper into your ear and - have fun.

- Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic. I am rereading it. She invites you to stop complaining - it chases Inspiration away, say "I enjoy my creativity" instead and see what happens.
-  And there is the podcast On Being that I find exquisite.
-  If you are in Philly, you can go to my friend Mira + Shakti Devi's kirtan, here.
-  If you are in Kaua'i, you can go to my friend Kim Murriera's Form Drawing class, here.
-  For a week long creativity retreat, catch my friend Ann Randolphthis August at 1440 Multiversity.
-  If you want a Netflix to watch, Iris
-  You could watch this Marie Forleo interview of Sarah Jones  - what a creative genius! or one of her TedTalk performances here.
- And when you doubt, you can read this 
- Or dance to this.

"You may forget but 
let me tell you this:
someone in some 
future time will
think 
of us." - Sappho

We only get one go around - so make sure you are there for it,
Kate
