Can you think of three or more key words that embody the reason why you create art?
If you were to write a short, memorable, and inspirational t-shirt message about the purpose or mission for your creative work, what would it say?

Hello friends,

So today starts a new adventure with the beginning of the c4 Atlanta Blogathon that my good friend +Hallelujah Truth is leading. Her prompts are yummy and I look forward to exploring more on the topic of art in the next 15 days. So here goes…..

Why do you exist? What is your purpose here on this earth?

To facilitate positive change, heal, bring joy, share love and help people reach their goals and creativity.

In addition, to help coach people to wellness.To help connect people to Mother Earth and nature.

How would you express the “why” behind your creative work in a few short sentences?

My creative work connects me to ‘spirit’, reminds me of who I am and hopefully helps facilitate positive change.

What do you want to be remembered for?

My love and service in this world.

Can you think of three or more key words that embody the reason why you create art?

Joy-filled, Flourishing, Fulfilling

If you were to write a short, memorable, and inspirational t-shirt message about the purpose or mission for your creative work, what would it say?

Go out and LOVE, LAUGH, DO GOOD and make ART!

What great prompts and fun things to write about on this Saturday morning! I’m planning a day of rest, relaxation and hopefully some friends and art! What are you up to today? I hope you will consider joining me in this blog-a-thon – it’s going to be great!

Wrapping you around with infinite love and wisdom,

Christine
