Month two of 2022. What’s going on with all of you? What’s your creative outlet? We’ve been in a strange place for almost two years now, and most of the artists I know have been creating art and music and have maintained their creativity. But what is your outlet? Sometimes for me it’s cooking or baking. Sometimes it’s writing. Whatever it is, it cleanses my creative spirit, and allows me to go back to my regularly scheduled creativity, ready to go. What about you? Maybe you need a fresh creative outlet.
Go over to Poet’s Place, the page curated by Linda Kaye, and let her posse of poets inspire your writing, or painting, or music, or dance! Maybe you should try a class. A workshop. Find a new talent or passion. You can scroll down to find some places that offer class and opportunities to expand your mind. Or check out some art at some of the local galleries.
Full disclosure…I’ll be here selling cool glass goodies. It’s Valentine’s Day soon after all. Hope to see you there!
