Hello and welcome to another Words of Wisdom Wednesday post on Orange Spiral Arts.
This year, I have decided that I might try to focus on creativity, the expressive arts, and spirituality.
Most of my books are on these topics because these subjects ignite me, they fill my soul, they make me think, and they get me taking action toward the things that I really want in my life.
About Words of Wisdom Wednesday
My intention with this project is to touch and use the superb printed resources that I have at my fingertips in my personal library. I also wish to share joy, positivity, wisdom, and inspiration. Finally, I love books, and I hope to help spread the word about some wonderful books and the authors who wrote them.
Today's Words of Wisdom are from Eric Maisel's Fearless Creating:
Ideas you had a decade ago may still be the richest ones, the ones still worth pursuing. Where do those ideas reside? In your finished works, in your unfinished works, in your notes, diaries, and journals, in your sketchbooks, in the recesses of your mind.
Fearless Creating by Eric Maisel, PhD (1995) p. 47
Speaking of journals and sketchbooks, tonight is the first session of 21 Secrets LIVE! Have you heard about 21 Secrets? It is an online art journaling workshop where 21 different teachers share their art journaling techniques. Connie Hozvicka of Dirty Footprints Studio is the mastermind behind the program. This is the fifth year of 21 Secrets, and Connie has decided to switch things up a bit. There is a 21 Secrets LIVE, which starts today, Wednesday, January 15th. There is also a 21 Secrets Spring, and there will be a 21 Secrets Fall. To get more information, visit Connie's site Dirty Footprints Studio.
Sketchbooks also make me think of Lisa Sonora Beam who is running a 30 day FREE journaling project called ROOT.
Now back to the quote by Eric Maisel. What has been on your mind for ten years or more? I've heard that your dreams do not go away; they come up again and again until you really pay attention and start moving toward living a life of your dreams. What's your dream? What do you wish to be, do, or have in your life?
Sometimes it takes some work to figure out what we truly want out of life. That's okay. Do the work and you will blossom.
Many Blessings to you,
Briana
