Aspirations, Motivation, Idealistic Views

Another rainy day, another opportunity for jotting down ideas for new artistic creations.

Have you ever done this exercise...
Write down 100 things that you LIKE:

I tried it and found that I could have continued waaayy past 100, but I know some people have trouble getting to 50.
Our perspective changes when we write something down, whether it be a goal, or a thought, or plans, or a recipe. It helps us to organize and clarify ideas in our mind so that when it comes time to apply, we have a better understanding and motivation for that application.

On to other thoughts...
I fee this is going to be a great year...lots of possibility, opportunity, time for changes, growth, and expansion of ideas and their applications.
New relationships, epiphanies to provide fuel for inspiration, and creative food for our artistic souls...that is what we have waiting for us this year, I believe!

Need an art venue to tour this weekend?
Check out The Atlanta Dogwood Festival, despite the rain!

Sunday Festival Hours: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM
After the city’s announcement in February that the 72nd Atlanta Dogwood Festival could not take place in any city park including Piedmont Park or any streets adjacent to a city park, we are pleased to announce that the location for the 2008 Atlanta Dogwood Festival will be outside in front of Lenox Square. It’s a weekend filled with arts, live music, family and fun. See what has made the Atlanta Dogwood Festival the Southeast’s favorite springtime tradition.
The Atlanta Dogwood Festival is one of the largest and most diverse juried arts festivals in the country. More than 200 artists from around the country exhibit in 12 categories, including painting, glass, clay, wood and mixed media. Some of the country’s top painters, photographers, sculptors, leather and metal craftsmen, glass blowers and more will be participating in the 2008 Dogwood Festival Artist Market. In 2006, the Artist Market was ranked #16, out of the Top 200 Shows in the Country by Sunshine Artist's Magazine.

Maybe some of you have a booth there this weekend, but either way, it's always good to support the artists of the city of Atlanta.

I'm off for the afternoon; it time for some rest and relaxation.
Have a great rest of your weekend, stay dry and enjoy the rain!
