"You may want to remind yourself that "art" is a form of the verb "to be."  Many of us have the idea that there's such a thing as a real artist, and "one day we may be one."  My feeling is that if you are making art, you are already a real artist.  Over time, you may become a better one, more skilled in your craft, but what do real artists do?  They make art.  If you're making art, even beginning art, you are a real artist- at least today.  And the day, the process of days adding up and experience adding up, is all we have for sure.  So give yourself credit."
The Artist's Way Everyday, A Year of Creative Living by Julia Cameron
Happy Monday beautiful artists.  I was so drawn to this reading this morning.  As I think about the qualities of an artist, I can't help but envision a canvas with the word "YES!" Saying yes to this inner artist, is a green light towards creativity.  If you are a writer, maybe you find words dazzling the page as you describe life.  If you are a painter, then maybe your canvas transports you into a world of abstract connections.  If you are a musician, maybe you find the echoes of emotion through your instrument.  If you are a caretaker, then maybe your art is roused through the lens of compassion.  If you are a gardener, then maybe your art is awakened through the rhythms of the Earth. 

We are all artists.  As I think of my love of writing, I can't help but feel the enormity of emotion and expression that I am able to convey.  The physical practice of writing allows such a catheartic release.  I have a sentiment pop into my consciousness and then I use all of my senses to describe this wonder; all the way to the core.  I feel the grace welling up within and I can hardly contain my excitement!  Just as a musician gathers up the notes on a page to create a symphony of sound, I gather up experiences to help me articulate the joys of living. 

When was the last time you tapped into your artistic heart?  Have you been 'waiting' for the right time?  Have you been procrastinating?  Have you been feeling limited in your expression?  It is my hope that today inspires you to say YES to this brilliant artist that lives within...may you honor your gifts, may you tap into your wellspring of talents, and may you have fun creating!!

May You Sweetly Seek,
In Gratitude:)
