i have talked with several friends who

are not inspired and are not working.

what do you do when you lose your mojo?

here are a few from my go to list

go to a workshop

rip and paste

use new colors

read  a novel

take a nap

listen to music

go to a gallery

have lunch with friends

try a new medium

pet a puppy

invite an art friend over and do a project

take a walk

look at your inspiration list 

talk to art friends

hold a baby

look at your inspiration sites

take a break for a few days

declutter your house

touch your supplies 

take a deep breath

yoga

try not to worry

tell a loved one the way you feel about them

write a love letter

paint something ugly

let it go, it will return

have a lovely weekend.

i am attending a three day workshop with

several friends from out of the state and 

old journaling friends i have not seen in too long. 

we will be altering an old passport

adding meaningful ephemera.

i will be adding to my father's childhood passport 

from 1929.   already in the gathering

process feelings have stirred

around memory, childhood, family, loss and love.

i am looking forward to the time 

and will probably not have much time to respond 

on my blog until next week.

XOXOXO
