111 Day Artistic Spirit Pledge: Spiritual Growth Through Creative Expression
*My “Nanny Kelly” services were required last evening, so I did not get this posted in time. It WAS written, just not posted.*
Day 77: Looking Ahead to the New Year
The calendar year approaches a change
And so too does my life
Both personally and professionally
I’m motivated to step forward
Without the self-tied strings that hold me back
2014 consisted of choices made
Some rash, some needed, but all added movement
I look ahead to 2015
With the my head held high
And a pen in my hand
I’m excited to write my own path in the coming year!
Was 2014 full of challenges and hardships, joys and achievements, or a combination? What are you most looking forward to in 2015?
**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 34 days, I’ll delve into how all of the above strengthens my spirit and has saved my life on more than one occasion.**
