Letter from the Editor
winter 2019
It’s December 26th and the kids and grandkids have gone home after two days
of joyful Christmas chaos. The kind of family chaos that leaves you in a state of
blissful exhaustion both physically and emotionally. Come on admit it; you know
exactly what I’m talking about!
My plan for today was to strip beds, wash linens and mop floors.
What my heart and spirit needed, however, was time in the studio. So I left the
beds and the floors for tomorrow, spent some time in quiet then six straight hours
painting with sappy Christmas Hallmark movies playing in the background. And
guess what? I feel renewed already! That’s how it typically works; when we tend
to the heart and spirit first, renewal comes quickly. I think this must be true of
everyone, but the creative‘s in my life seem to be much more in tune with this
and order their lives accordingly.
My wish for you for 2019 is that you take time to sit in quiet and allow your
heart and spirit to tell you exactly what they are needing, and that as a result, the
creative juices flow in abundance and prosperity abounds.
