Making Manifest the Image

At times the artist muse makes known her presence by offering up vivid images before I awake in the morning. The medium varies from jewelry designs to essays to watercolor paintings. I try to pay attention and honor the inspiration. I'm better at it sometimes than others. What I have learned is that the muse may fade into the periphery of my imagination but it doesn't take much to coach her into the limelight. I am thankful that she never gives up waiting for me to engage her time honored assistance in the creative process.

The Jiggles

I am addict, to creating. When I'm busy doing the drudgeries my jiggling leg constantly reminds me that there are more fun things to be doing than paperwork. Everytime I walk past the staircase I notice the blue and gray beading goodies sitting on the first step that I purchased on Friday. They connect me to an inner insistence to create that I have kept at bay for days. How long can this go on???

I have to do what?

Jump rings and marketing. Both are a necessity and the bane of my entrepreneurial existence. It is here that I must talk myself into the act of putting one foot in front of the next and then rewarding myself generously when I complete a task on the list. If you have any inspirational words, I could use them!

The life of firsts

I'm much older than blogging, twitting, emailing and facebooking. Yet embracing these changes created  opportunities for making new and exciting changes in my life that I never imagined. Meeting new people and forging new friendships was just the beginning. As more of my authentic self emerges I invite you to share the journey and if so moved share yours. Blessings. Cyndy
