#ArtistDate 🌿 "The Artist Date is a once-weekly

#ArtistDate
🌿
"The Artist Date is a once-weekly, festive, solo expedition to explore something that interests you. The Artist Date need not be overtly “artistic”– think mischief more than mastery. Artist Dates fire up the imagination. They spark whimsy. "~ as defined by @juliacameronlive, the author of #theartistway
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love Julia's book, The Artist Way. Julia taught me how to write #MorningPages. Julia taught me that I was a #ShadowArtist. Notice I said was! But TBH I'm still in recovery 🤪
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's a Shadow Artist you ask?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Julia writes "Many of us find that we have squandered our own creative energies by investing disproportionately in the lives, hopes, dreams, and plans of others."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In other words, a Shadow Artist is a non creating artists that kinda hang out in the shadows of "real" artists. Helping them do their thing. But afraid to do their own thing. Afraid to Be seen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yep! That was me. Big Time! And I still have lots of moments where I Compare & Despair, but they are becoming fewer and farther apart.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are a Shadow Artist, it's time to step out of the shadows and start letting your inner artist feel the sun on his/her/their face. 😎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And schedule yourself an Artist Date. Don't you think it's time to let those in your world see you for who you really are? #youareanArtist

My view on this #SacredSunday.
🌿
My favorite place to write #MorningPages is in my living room. I sit by the fireplace (it's only electric logs but it still counts right?? 🤪) in my favorite chair. I have a cup of my favorite coffee, quiet meditation music on and usually an apple scented candle burning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This painted antique door is my view. I love it. I wish I could tell you all the details about where it came from, how old it is, and who painted it. But I don't know the details. I found it in a store and fell in love. The person working didn't know much about it. So I bought it 7-8 years ago and hung it in my home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Creating spaces, views and vignettes in my home with collected items, colors, and art created by others and by me, brings me joy. 💙

I'm trying really, really hard to become a good plant mom.
🌿
I got this little baby last week at the grocery store and didn't know what she was. I've learned from my FB friends to use the @picturethisai Picture This Plant Identifier app. (I'm always the last to know about cool apps. 🤪)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I now know she is a species of Echeveria commonly called Hen and Chicks or sometimes called Pink Frills. Isn't that adorable!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wish me luck keeping her alive and well!
