111 Day Artistic Spirit Pledge: Spiritual Growth Through Creative Expression
Day 73: Christmas Eve
For those of you in the blogosphere who celebrate Christmas, I hope this holiday is filled with love and laughter. I wish you much joy for the coming year!
I can “bearly” contain my excitement
For night to pass and morning to arrive
Mr. and Mrs. Bear keep watch for the jolly one
They promised to wake me in time
I won’t keep him long
As I know he has places to go
I just want to say “hi” and give him a hug
And wish him a “Merry Christmas!”
**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 38 days, I’ll delve into how all of the above strengthens my spirit and has saved my life on more than one occasion.**
