Create with Kim!

First Sale

Wondering where I head after closing my massage practice has been an ongoing question since my car accident 4 years ago. And I am beginning to realize that being a substitute teacher and artist is okay. I love my creative pursuits. I want to inspire others to heal through fostering a connection with community and creativity.

Tonight, I made my first sale. The photo, “Mist Woods” which has been professionally matted and framed.

This feels fantastic and I have a new budding dream. It feels a bit like spring, vulnerable to frost and criticism but promising lush green fruitful growth.

Creative Space

Cynthia Morris challenged her readers to “Make a Creative Leap” and to, Make Space for Reflection. I have cleared Mondays but I am finding this is not enough. I need more time. Monday is a work day. I need a recharge day, one where I do not leave the house and can lounge and pull out paints, markers or do a collage. Where those are not my primary pursuits I find they fuel me.

This week I will create more space for myself on Friday.

I Sing Myself

Mike was in the office/studio today and asked about the old man, Walt Whitman. The old man is a black and white gift card purchased at Chapter II Books in Marquette. Walt Whitman-I sing myself!

It is a reminder that I can celebrate everyday and be glad for life. I can create any adventure I want and any perception I want.

This Week

• I will make a creative and visual prompt as a focal point. Let it represent my Creative Leap.
• I will choose some ice shots to print and mat.
• I will open my business account and organize receipts.
• I will get back to morning writes.
• I will play with my grandson.
• I will spend romantic time with Mike.

How do I feel about this free write?

Short on words. Short on Quality. Taking Stock.
