Artist Date – One Bright Thing
In one of my earlier posts, I shared that I am reading The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. In it, the author asks us to go on an artist’s date each week. It’s a two-hour solo expedition to do something that interests us. It is for sparking your imagination and feeding your creativity.
I ventured out on my first artist date today. It brightened my day more than I could imagine. I went for a casual hike, but it ended up being a hilly hike with a 450′ elevation.
The sounds from beautiful water-filled creeks surrounded me during the first part of the hike. It was as if I was walking with meditative water sounds on my earphones.
The joy from the second part of the hike came at the end when I faced my fears of being at such high elevations and among high winds. I hope you take yourself on an artist date soon.
