Renewing in the new year…

Though I’m still dipping my toes into the blogosphere (netspeak for the world of blogging) rather tentatively, I am definitely seeing quite a few lovely New Year’s posts in the blogs I follow.

Jennifer Perkins linked to the Indie Fixx article “New Years Eve on a Budget” where she contributed tips on how to make a rockin’ pipe cleaner tiara.

I was touched Lani Kent’s beautiful New Year’s wishes; “May this be a year you deeply discover and express your undeniable and unique dreams, gifts and visions!” (click the link to read the full text.) I may have to print this out and put the up on my magnetic whiteboard as a reminder.

At GoMakeSomething.com Lisa Vollrath prompted her readers “Go Make a Creative Resolution!” My resolution was short and sweet; to heal myself through my art. Go check out the 70+ other responses, they are quite an inspiration!

Along with healing, I hope to make progress on, as the title of this blog says, finding my path. Starting – and succeeding in! – some sort of new creative entrepreneurial adventure is not something I feel comfortable “resolving” to do this year, but it’s definitely something I’m putting positive energy toward this year. What are your creative goals, hopes, dreams, and wishes for 2009?

Today’s image is from my art retreat earlier this year. I wanted to start the new year with an image of my hands at their happiest; covered in paint and tingling from the joy of unbridled creating. I want my hands to look like this a lot more in 2009!
