I felt inspired, when I visited Crescendoh, yesterday. My creative self was happy to see how art had touched so many people in various ways.
I feel stuck, but in reality it isn't that I'm out of ideas, i have too many. I am trying to fish through them and catch the one, that feels right. I really want to gather my supplies and go rent a hotel room...be alone to sort it all out. I am alone briefly, so this is my attempt. Perhaps I need to walk, do my moving meditation. Have you ever noticed, when you walk, ideas or problems can be resolved in your head. When you have too many ideas do you feel clogged, everything is trying to get through the drain, I mean brain. I need Braino...they don't make it yet...mmh, maybe I should invent it. I think I am to late; I think Julia Cameron has with her exercises: morning pages, walking and a weekly artist date. I guess I need to continue on my journey so i can keep my drive.
It feels like I'm the car and Julia's giving me the tools to do my own tune up.

Love,
Jenny
all your ideas in your running shoes.
i feel the very same way EVERY SINGLE day dear ellen.
it.s hard huh.
sometimes i think when we "surf" all over the web, we get ourselves overwhelmed.
i think you SHOULD go to a hotel.
i did that all by myself last spring.
just took off to LA alone.
took all my art books and pencils and stuff and went to watch a viewing of the movie..."who does she think she is."
a very wonderful documentary about mothers who are also artists.
simplify today.
cross ONE thing off your list of creations until next month.
you.ll feel better.
loves,

oh
and i have NEVER read wacky wednesdays.
going to have to now.
i already have breakfast for dinner on mondays.
i guess im half way to wacky.
We borrowed this book at the library then later
found a copy at a 2nd hand store. Wacky Wednesday is a fun read,you look for wacky items while you read it.
Thanks Jenny and Chrissy, it is nice to know you aren't alone. Braino, would be part caffeine, a bit of ginseng and a touch of Omega 3, in a delicious drink, that comes with a pad of paper and a pen. Once you drink it the ideas will flow, but in formation, not all at once, lol. Then clarity comes.
I would love to see this documentary; i wonder if they have it on netflix. I will go look!
Thanks you two!
(((hugs)))
I have in the past, glanced at that book, it was good, but at the time, I wasn't writing anything, other than in my journal. Thanks for the description, I love to drive the back roads, I have to be careful, i have a heavy foot, sometimes. It is a great escape...
I love your word and you are so right, we need a transition, like in Star Trek when they are beamed to another planet. We need to be transported, our energy beamed elsewhere
so we can regroup and find our flow.
Thanks for visiting me,
(((hugs)))
