Wish/dream jar





What a wonderful experience to make a "wish jar" filled with some of my dreams for 2012!

"You have to be certain about what you really want before you can go after it" - Stephanie Levy

This is our first weekends 'workshop' creating your own 'wish jar' ... mine is filled with dreams for the coming year... and with this focus on creativity the past week (1st week of the Creative Courage e-course) and all the thought on the subject it brought us to a place to write down an inventory of our deepest wishes... making a 'creative dream update'...  how wonderful this focus have been... whaw, I've always just had lots of fun with my passion for creativity, but now I'm really thinking what it is that I still would love to do but still has some fears to overcome...

In the coming week we are going to learn how to move from dreaming to doing!!!

Yah! Cannot wait!!

Yippee... day 1 of my Creative Courage e-course!

This is so cool!! I'm joining my very first e-course and for the benefit of my fellow creative participants that may come exploring my blog I will be posting in English for a while...
A course on creative courage!!! What a way to start a year off with... I love all kinds of creativity... and hopefully with Stephanie Levy's e-course and with the community of like-minded people I will find my way through decluttering or re-focussing or learning how to go about my creativity with more insight and purpose... and somehow I would want to learn to release the fear of some things I still do not believe I can do and find that creative voice that I can call 'my own free way of expressing'... Cannot wait for all the experiences waiting for me in the next 7 weeks of this course!...

Lusmakerboek...


Het onlangs gehoor van Sonja Loots se nuwe boek, "Sirkusboere" en dit wat ek al daaroor weet  (wat nie veel is nie) maak my baie nuuskierig...  'n boek oor 'n opvoering van die Boereoorlog in St Louis, Amerika... klink tergelyketyd vreemd in onderwerp, maar ook vars en maak my dan nou baie nuuskierig.

Ek het in die week gehoor Joan Hambidge het 'n onderhoud met Sonja Loots oor hierdie boek op Leeskring op RSG.  Ek kon dit nie daardie tyd luister nie, maar het pas die link afgelaai en kan nie wag om te hoor waaroor dit gaan en hoe en vanwaar dit ontstaan het nie!
(ek sluit die link in - kliek net op "onderhoud" ;)  )

Creative Courage

Ek is baie opgewonde! Vanaf Maandag gaan ek my 1ste e-kursus meemaak...  Die 'Creative Courage' e-kursus aangebied deur Stephanie Levy begin Maandag - kan nie wag nie!
