Creativity Kickstart


Sometimes I need a kickstart to my creativity...

My daily dose of inspiration often comes via Brain Pickings, a beautifully curated newsletter highlighting a treasure trove of culture, art, literature, you name it.

I just ordered Austin Kleon's "Steal Like an Artist" --- I suspect it's just what I need for that little extra bit of motivation.

After a Long Absence

The other day, one of my friends at work came across this blog and asked me why I wasn't doing it anymore. A string of excuses... too much work, not enough hours in the day, feeling uninspired, procrastination. Made me think...

When it comes down to it, I stopped doing something I really love--- not the blog itself, but the art that fed the blog. After relocating and getting a full-time job, juggling work and home and family, art was set aside as a luxury, when it should have been a staple. My son asked me a few months back why I wasn't painting anymore. That should've been a wake-up call.

Now, two years after my last post, I'm going to attempt to bring art and creativity back to the forefront of my life.

Baby steps...
