What happened to spiritdoll???

Thank you to everyone who left me such kind and generous comments on my last post. I've been busy and haven't had the space to compose a new blog entry. I hadn't bolted in case you were beginning to wonder. Actually, I'm surprised how calm I've felt after putting it right out there that I'd like to teach. For now, I am just trying it on in my head like a play outfit and seeing what it's like to put it out there.
Greenishlady gave me some other words to use which I like very much such as facilitate or empower or support. I don't know what form it will take but I'm seeing what it's like to think up possible paths to helping others using my creativity and helping to nurture their creativity. Certainly, one of my goals with this blog is to offer creative encouragement.
I may see if I could form a face to face creativity group locally. I have an artists group that I'm a part of and will write more about it later this week. I was thinking a group that plays creatively and meets more often than my art group would be a fun thing to facilitate. It's just a thought I'm trying on.

Today, I started my clay class up at Santa Fe Clay. I'm excited about it. I liked the teacher. I'm going to try to make some larger forms. Normally I love to work very small and detailed. Bigger work will be more risky for me and maybe all this Artist Way work and support has inspired me to the challenge. Taking this class will cut into my blogging time which is one reason I am sitting here tonight trying to write an entry and catch up.
Tomorrow I have my massage. I finally scheduled a professional massage. I haven't had a professional massage for about 5 years. Not sure why - just procrastination. Anyway, I'm looking forward to that.
Then Thursday I am cheating and I'm having an artist date with my sister. I think it is good to go inward and listen to your inner artist but sometimes I think it's okay to do an artist date with someone else. Especially if you have an inner artist that gets lonely sometimes and just wants to play with others.
I am a little too tired to write but I was afraid I was neglecting my blog and really I want you all who have been coming to read and to those who have left a comment to know just how much your encouragement and your stories mean to me - I am very grateful. Goodnight ya'all this clay explorer is off to watch a little ice skating and then off to bed.
