A snow day in the north east! A gift that I didn’t expect. I look at this day as if I were painting. Time itself is the medium. I can imagine what I want to make of the day … and then transform it into what I have imagined! Just like creating a painting. That’s…

Leah,
Great hearing form you! Looking forward to hearing more about what you are up to creatively, as well. 
Great to see your work. You are as amazing as I remember. 
great tips!! and i love that wallace stevens quote!
Thank you, Beth.
@Anna As you articulate, preconceived notions are certainly challenging to deal with, because it is difficult to disengage from them. Perhaps they seem like a kind of lifesaver for us, so we don’t have to risk too much. In reality,though, expectations can crowd the truth out of creative marks. The marks then, are no longer searching, they have stopped growing. When i see that it is a reminder to me to begin again to trust my hand working with my heart in the now moment. Thank you for the affirmation!
@Hybrid J Art and life require similar handling, as you expressed so eloquently. 
Hi Beth – What a timely post, tying so well in what I am pondering right now. I fully agree with what you write: get physical – definitely, set a time limit – yes, I set a limit of 20 min today!. What I find important too, is to be void of preconceived notions of the result and just let the brush/hand lead! 
What a great post to remind us not only about art but also about life! Just how many times we try to impress, both ourselves and others, that we forget the reason why we are doing something. Thank you for writing up such wonderful post. Have you always wanted to shape your day a little more? Try a dose of creativity. After all , you are the architect of your life! show 2 comments 
Thanks, Beth! I sent this one on to Max and Will. I think they will love it. Love you….
Great info, Beth. Thank you . “Creative every day” sounds like a fun place to be….. Now, for me , taking this energy into my realms is where Create begins….. Thanks for the seeds! – ng “You can only generate ideas when you put pencil to paper, brush to canvas…when you actually do something physical” by Twyla Tharp, choreographer |

beth - Creating the architecture for your business! Defining your day is dealing with the basics of your life work.You need to do this to assess, reevaluate and honor your life work! Isn’t it incredible that you got to tone your body at the same time, for free?
chironarts - Today I took advantage of the snow by completing my tax preparation for my accountant. It feels as if I have 12 inches of snow melted off my back. Now, as far as my sidewalk, that’s a different story. I have to shovel that snow off my walk!
Thank you!
