111 Day Artistic Spirit Pledge: Spiritual Growth Through Creative Expression
Day 52: California Rainin’
The pouring rain welcomes me to Los Angeles
A steady waterfall of cold and wet
It cools and refreshes
Renewing my spirit with enthusiasm
I’m here. I’ve arrived
Though the trip will be brief
The goals are long-term
Dreams meet reality
Surrounded by family, entertainment, and artistic inspiration
**I am an Artistic Spirit! For most of my life I’ve used the creative arts as a source of spiritual exploration and healing, even though I didn’t always do so consciously. Sometimes I was the instrument creating the art and other times I was on the receiving end. The connection between art and spirituality is so significant in my life that it’s infused into everything I do. I love music, theatre, television drama series (daytime and primetime), and creative writing and find fulfillment in artistic expression of various sorts: singing, acting, and jewelry design. Throughout the next 59 days, I’ll delve into how all of the above strengthens my spirit and has saved my life on more than one occasion.**
