" Three Thoughts For A Fond Hope" D. Altaville c.2007Just an old piece that I recently finished up and put up on my Art n Joy etsy shop.
I'm back on that emotional roller coaster again. Feeling oh so uninspired, and just not motivated artistically. I started a part-time job selling ad space, to try and help out with the bills.
I'm thankful for the job, but well, yes I have to admit I'd rather be home delving into paint and paper and trying to wake up the muse.
I did have a beautiful day yesterday though. I went shopping with my lovely daughter for a homecoming dress, visiting some of the funky, chic boutiques in a nearby town. AND God must have been shining down on us, as we found the most beautiful dress, that fits her like it was tailor made and the price tag was $60.00. BUT it was my lucky day, because the dress was marked down to $10.00!!!! It seems the woman is clearing out the summer stock for Fall. Woohooo!
We were so excited. And we got some lovely jewelry to boot!
So as I start my day today, feeling wonky and out of sorts I will try and remember the beautiful things. My daughter and our beautiful day together and how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family and a God that is awesome, that is always looking out for us.
Cheers all! Here's hoping you all have a beautiful week!

It's made the time I spend on my own work much more valuable and productive. I hope you find that when you are not thinking about how to pay the bills...your find the muse is waiting for you and ready to play.

Of course, I have no idea about the source of your feeling the way you do right now, but I do have a suggestion. I am beginning a program for women in transition or who wish they were! One book I use a great deal is called "Simple Abundance" by Sarah BanBreathnach. It is from the mid 1990's and you may have already read it. I find it invaluable when I am feeling like you describe. It has helped me more than I can ever really convey. There are some creative activities to do in the book and you can even get a workbook for it as well but it's not necessary at all. Your local library should have it and you can get a copy very cheaply at half.com It's a great way to really get in touch with yourself- your authentic self. I really helped recharge my creative spirit also! Let me know if you decide to read it and if you like it if you wouldn't mind. I know you make beautiful art and I appreciate you sharing it with all of us who enjoy your blog! Take care!
