To those who want to use their right brain,

A Sunday Morning Observation, 2014

This morning, I continued to sort through neat piles in my studio hoping to make a slight dent in getting closer to a functioning space.  These piles are situated in every open corner or ideal area on the floor which makes the already small room even smaller.  

The pile that I was sifting through was full of past letters sent, programs from the Book of Mormon and Anything Goes and a special garage sale find of color pencil water colors.  As I was placing the pencils in another organized neat pile, my boyfriend eagerly asked, "What are those?"  

This opened up his right brain!!!!  "Linh, how do you use these?" he impatiently questioned.  I showed him how to use these pencils, gave him all the necessary supplies and before you know it he's onto his second painting.  

I guess even tiny actions spark creativity.  

Happy to see a different side,

To those who are early risers,  

This morning I woke up at around 6:08am.  It's about a half an hour earlier than I am use to but so far it has been extremely worth it.  I have already spent 20 minutes cleaning my art studio.  This studio has been in a nonfunctioning state for quite some time.  I need it to be functioning!!!  Now, I am writing, eating breakfast and drinking a warm cup of coffee.

On Saturday, I went to a workshop called Fearless Creating with Diane Conway.  It was so exciting.  One of her strategies for beginning creativity is to spend at least 20 minutes a day in a space just for yourself.  So I hope that this works.  As you may already know, I have a hard time finishing projects and lately I have just been going through the motions everyday.  This 20 minutes in a sense is putting me in check of what I am really passionate about.

Well, I must go to get ready for work.

Excited to continue the day,
