Best Day Ever

March 1, 2021

Write it on your heart…

Best Day Ever

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations

Perfect is boring, Part deux

February 22, 2021

Seriously, perfect is boring

It’s Monday and time for another Mugshot.

Perfect is Boring is the perfect mantra for creating art. Especially continuous line blind contour drawings. In pen.

Have a creative Monday.

Cheers!

Creativity lies in doing

February 15, 2021

Not in the already done

Begin

The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist.

The beginner’s humility and openness lead to exploration.

Exploration leads to accomplishment. All of it begins at the beginning, with the first small and scary step.

May your Monday lead to a new Begin.

Cheers.


Excerpted from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron.

It is what it is

February 1, 2021

It is what it is, until it isn’t

It’s Monday, it’s snowing, and it is cold. These are facts I have no control over. So using ‘it is what it is’ works here.

If I use it as an excuse for inaction though, it implies not only that this is the reality I face, but I cannot make it any different.

So, it is what it is, until you decide it isn’t.

Cheers and here’s to an empowered Monday, week, month, year.
