I spot the chicken! and of course I love this post all the way through! let's chat about your point - "creativity is a healing force, tapping something bigger than the moment at hand"!!

(and, of course, thanks for the shout-out. and for pointing me down the Carla Sonheim collage trail. what a tremendous gift that has been)

Thanks! Hope the journaling leads down an interesting path. I love how different the answers could be for each person or even in different seasons of life.

I love your white bird with the colorful wings. It is happy and other worldly!

I love the idea of going on art dates. I live just a few minutes from one of the very best art museums in the country (here in the US) -- I should visit it more often!

I'm not sure why it took us so long to come up with the idea but I'm glad we did. I plan to do some on my own as well but I also like the idea of sharing them with a friend, to be able to discuss the art we see and also to encourage each other to try out new things. My thought is-food can be art, too, right? So maybe we can try out some interesting food experiences as well.

I hope you take yourself on a date to the museum!

Thanks, friend. At first I thought: is she calling my bird a chicken? And then I found the chicken. Looking for chickens is your version of Where’s Waldo. 🐓
