Day 9 of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey

Day 111 of the Artistic Spirit Pledge: The Finale

111 Day Artistic Spirit Pledge: Spiritual Growth Through Creative Expression Day 111: Artistic Spirit Finale *I wrote the following piece many years ago, during a time when my spirituality was strengthening and my religious identification floundering.  As I’ve stated before, I consider religion and spirituality to be separate entities, and it is not my intention toContinue reading “Day 111 of the Artistic Spirit Pledge: The Finale”
