Commitment

Commitment

Over a year ago, I started a blog. I published one entry and then didn't write again as I was absorbed in finishing my CD. I wanted a daily, or even weekly practice of blogging as a way to keep myself honest about being creative on a consistent basis, and to share this process with others who are looking to do the same. I got so caught up in thinking about how I wanted to do this, share it, how often etc. that I quickly felt a back-up of creative ideas that I wanted to share, and didn't know how to begin. Sound familiar at all? Sometimes I have so many things I want to start that I just don't.  SO.......... I am starting! I was on a walk this evening and looking out at this view I decided I just needed to commit. It feels really good actually to imagine dipping into this creative space as often as I can, and to share it. As soon as I made the decision I felt a buoyancy and delight... which reminds me how important it is to SHARE our creations... it completes the process. I am excited to begin this journey and look forward to hearing from people who are on similar journeys, and who want to start being more creative on a daily (weekly/monthly!) basis, whether that means making art, music, or just looking at life through the lens of creativity as the force that drives us... I become more and more convinced that for myself, engaging in the creative process makes me feel more like me, more alive, and connected to what I am meant to be doing. I'm curious how you experience creativity in your life- is it a part of your daily life and if so in what way? LD
