It has been a long time in coming – just making the decision, finding a designer, working with the designer towards a common vision of the site, making sure it was accurate and also asking others to make comments on it, was quite the ordeal. However, it is done!

A lazy balmy day here in Southern Ontario. Can’t remember a Thanksgiving holiday that has been so amazingly warm – 30 degrees C., predicted today. So other than raking some leaves with my hubby, I’m taking a break from my usual routines and devoting some time to my passions – research, reading and a bit of writing.
This kind of day gives me an opportunity to be thankful for what I do have. Gratitude for my present state of good health, since I’ve had a terrible year with a number of life threatening physical challenges. Also, gratitude for being a creative person. Fortunately, I have a passion in my life which enables me to discover, dissolve, delve, deepen, into realms of mental and physical acuity with my artwork.
I also have an incredible support network of my spouse Gary and my family, friends and acquaintances who take a real interest in who I am so I feel loved and respected.
There also have been some challenges which are very fulfilling – taking on an on-line course in promoting myself has been incredibly revealing as far as where I want to take my art. I’ve discovered that I do not need to take it anywhere except for my own fulfillment. I want to share it, however, with others who have an appreciation or are challenged by it. That understanding enables me to further explore my depth. Again, with some reading (Anais Nin – diary vol. VI), I’ve been inspired to read her forward to Otto Rank’s book called Art and the Artist – Creative urge and personality development. Check it out on google books. Again, finding information like this on the creative process, the significance of the artist’s work on the “collective”, the woman artist, expands my knowledge and understanding of my own creative spirit.
