I've been self-isolating for 17 days now, and see no end in site.
And I'm totally ok with this.
It's my responsibility, both to myself, and to others in my community (and the world) to do my part to #flattenthecurve. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You with me?
How many days have you been in self-isolation, quarantine, containment, or whatever you call this?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND where in the world are you doing it?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although alone, we are all together as we move through this planetary healing. .

I haven't had the energy to post to IG for over a week.
My emotions have been flying in every direction, from being at peace and grateful for this shared global experience, to being full of fear and dread for what could happen next.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However in THIS moment, I feel peaceful, and grateful that I've stopped creating stories about what's next. Who knows how I'll feel in an hour, so I'm grateful for the peace I feel NOW.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How about YOU?
In a 1-2 words, how are you feeling in THIS moment?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please know that I'm supporting and sending you love with whatever is coming up for YOU in this moment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a little doodle I did in February, a lifetime ago, before I choose to stay home. Now I have much more time for doodling and exploring the art I love. For this too I am very grateful.

For the past 6+ months, I’ve had a major case of

One of my absolute favorite tasks from The Artist'

One of my absolute favorite tasks from The Artist's Way was when I wrote a letter to my inner child (nicknamed "sweet pea"), encouraging her to keep going.....
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then I mailed this letter to myself. I even put a stamp on it and put it in the mail! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even though I wrote this letter myself, my heart bursted open when I read the loving things I wrote to this dear inner artist of mine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here is a small excerpt of what I wrote to sweet pea...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Keep playing, experimenting, following the seeds of inspiration as they pop up. You are on the path that you were born to follow. All the stars are aligning in this very moment. to guide your next steps and the one after that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are deeply loved. I am deeply proud of your courage to move forward even though you don't know the ultimate destination. Remember that the only outcome you need to focus on is how much fun and connection you feel as you create each day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love you all the numbers in the universe". I use to tell me nieces this when they were younger, so why not tell myself this as well?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although this letter was written for my inner child, perhaps it was written for yours as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The artwork in this post, "Follow your heart's deepest heart's desire" (SOLD) seems fitting for this letter to sweet pea!

List one win from this week below.
Ready... Go!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll start...
My biggest win from this week is that I started a new 12-week online course with @nicholaswilton and @art2life_world. It's something that I've dreamed of doing for several years, and finally got the sign that it was time to lift my art to a new level.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How about YOU? What win are you excited about this week?
Please share so that we can support each other as we move in the direction of our dreams.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This post is a detail from a collage painting I never finished. MAYBE I'll get around to it as I move through this new course?
I believe in miracles!
