I am going to participate in Leah's Creative Everyday  for the as long as I am called to.  My new official job is Creatrix.  Thats all, just creating.  Daily.  And the idea of sharing that process here with all of you is only natural. 

I spent the day sitting here at the dining room table in our little mountain hideaway making jewelry all day long.  Its quiet here.  I'm spending my days wrapped in soft scarves, drinking teas, hot chocolate, chai, feeling the warmth coming from the fireplace.  All of these things and more add up to the perfect day. 

I am still in transition with all this though.  Still in a state of surprise that this is my life and that my days are so so different then what they use to be.  I love working in quiet, lost in my inspiration, chanting, creating, meditating over what wants to come through. When I want a break I get to walk over to my Love and get a big smooch, a hug or both.  So much better then working at a public office!  :)

But today, and this is going to sound silly, Jon was watching last weeks episode of Private Practice.  And I was half watching and half not.  If you haven't seen it, its an offshoot of Grey's Anatomy, and revolves around a small group of doctors that work at a private clinic.  They work together, socialize together, have these life altering conversation and issues that they work out together.  I mean... its TV. 

But it brought up the thought that I work alone.  My days are spent doing the things I love and am impulsed to do, but the day to day camaraderie is gone.  And what I also realized was that I really didn't have that in the office I was working at either. For the last couple of years, due to changes in office dynamics, I really didn't have that small team bonding that I was reminded of today.  I did however have a high volume of massage clients so I had constant close contact with people. 

I'm not sure that I am saying that I miss that, but I am aware that I don't have that anymore.  And as I embark on a new career, I am realizing that I am missing having a someone around me that is going through the same process.  I long for an artist community that I can share this experience with, and bounce ideas off of. 

I want to talk to others who have had to get use to income that comes inconsistently, or income that is reliant not just on creating art, but on the purchasing done by others.  I want a community of souls that believe the creative process is part of a revolutionary gift of healing to the world.  I suppose I want to meet those Others that are part of this "industry".    Oh... and some mentorship would be wonderful too!  :)

So all this to say that I am called to be part of Leah's sharing.  I am creating everyday, and I love what is beginning to come through, and I would love to have it all be Seen by all of you who are open to it and Opened by it.

Namaste.
