It’s difficult to believe we are now almost 2 weeks into #100daysofwonder! I’ve had some of you mention getting the daily email is a little much in your inbox, and gosh, do I get that.
Starting Saturday, I’m going to send you a week at a time in advance. Basically, I’ll email you each Saturday of our challenge with the following 7 days linked in the weekly email, and you can respond as usual. Also, that means you can batch days (do a few at one time) if that suits you better.
PROMPT | DAY 013
What are you ready to try that you’ve avoided?
MY REFLECTION:
Sometimes, we try things that seem like they will work… and they do, for a time. I think one of the biggest skills in growing creatively is the ability to adapt and iterate. It’s also a joy and part of what makes it an adventure!
When we are afraid to acknowledge when something isn’t working, that’s when we get stuck.
This is short because I’m a bit under the weather today. But I’ll be back in your inbox with our first weekly digest version tomorrow. I think it will be more flexible for everyone!
Share your thoughts in the comments.
All my love,
I hope you feel better soon.
That one is easy for me. I’ve wanted to join an artist guild in my town since I moved here and that is my goal. As you’ve beautifully addressed on this newsletter at times, sometimes as artists we just don’t feel ready or like we have enough or that or arts not “edgy” enough, etc etc.. So that is something I will change this year.
I don't know. I followed a course in bobbin lacemaking, I loved it. Then my, already chronically ill, husband became really sick and I stopped participating in the course. My beloved died. That is 3 years ago and I am slowly becoming a new person. But I cannot find the energy or motivation or whatever you call it, to start making lace again. I sew, embroider, started weaving but no bobbinlacemaking. I can't discover what I need to do to start again.
