Every year around the turn of the New Year I spend a full day in creative contemplation reflecting upon the past year and creating an intention for the year ahead. This year, I spent two full days in that quiet space. No electronics-- no phone, no computer, no facebook, no email, no texting. Nothing. I cleaned off my desk and spread out all of my art supplies. I lit candles, burned incense, practiced yoga, meditated, journaled and created lots and lots of art. The theme for 2012 came pretty quickly. "Follow Your Bliss," which is part of a longer quote by Joseph Campbell: "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls." Using that as my theme I decided to create a small collage book as a visual reference for all the things that bring me bliss. I've been adding something to it everyday. More pictures of collage book below.
Here's to wishing you a CREATIVE year of FOLLOWING YOUR BLISS in 2012!
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be free.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
