8 Comments

 
In this week's blog post, I have included a great big THANK YOU, a recording of this week's live Q & A on Creativity, and a call to meaningful work!

Art Nurture: The Simple Guide to Cultivating Your Creativity was officially released on October 14th and the party was awesome!!!

Below is a one minute video summing up the beauty of that evening and saying 
THANK YOU!

This is the last week of the series from each section of my book,
  Art Nurture: The Simple Guide to Cultivating Your Creativity

Week 1: Beginning Your Art Nurture Journey 

Week 2: The Seed of Creativity 

Week 3: Shed that Outer Layer 

Week 4: Taking Root 

Week 5: Breaking Ground 

Week 6: Growing Up 

Week 7: Sustainability
How to Tend & Nurture Your Creativity for the Long Haul (today!)

To continue with my sharing from each section of the book, this week I hosted a live 
Q & A call and I have included the recording here! 

The recording is 35 minutes long and I answer questions that you all submitted to me directly. You all sent me some amazing questions and I hope you truly enjoy this recording. It was such an honor to tackle your creativity questions, so thank you for joining me in this venture. 
I promised you a Thank You, a recording, and now.... a call to meaningful work!

We really don't talk about our creativity and our art and cultivating these things in ourselves without discussing the idea of work and our meaning. 

I believe if you are interested in the topics I discuss here on Art Nurture, you are probably interested in making your whole life work and that involves your work!

We spend a lot of our time doing a "job" or on our "work".
 
How are we contributing to the world? 
Are we doing something we believe in? 
Is our work meaningful? 
Is it making a difference in the world?

These are some important questions to tackle.

1) THANK YOU for making the release of my first book, Art Nurture: The Simple Guide to Cultivating Your Creativity, so incredibly special!
