Phoenix Rising

Hello Everyone -

It's been a busy time at Getten Creative.  My hubby, Brien and I are working to finish the new Getten Creative Studio! The barn has been renovated into a livable studio space and I'm almost ready to bring in furniture - workbenches, a bookshelf and a comfy chair. I've even purchased a book press which I will use as a printing press for some of my prints.

I am on the cusp of starting a new way of life for myself - one that embraces art as a real contribution to the world, not just a hobby or a side gig.

I've been struggling with the idea that I had to have a full-time, "normal" job, so I've tried on some hats that were on my "maybe I'd like to do that" list. But since leaving my position (of 22 years) as a Special Education Paraprofessional, nothing has felt quite right. It's because my authentic self is crying out to do art, art and more art!

A couple of weeks ago, after my monthly massage, I was getting up and stretched into a cobra pose. I  felt as though I were on fire and saw myself as a Phoenix burning off an old self and rising as something completely new! I left there with the feeling that anything is possible!

And I finally truly KNOW that it is!
