Hi-bearnation and grrreat reawakening was how I called this month’s activities. But mostly i was excited about this 1.5 meter painting i did of a bear.

Who else wants to connect with other artists, poets and writers? I’m starting a monthly writers group. Doing a poetry reading online this weekend and I made a fun little magazine for you of new art.

I made courage earrings to give you a word of the day. These ones are called garden of hope. Who else likes to have an intention for your day or a word to meditate on? How do you do it ?

I made chicken broth today plus a coffee cake with cranberries and walnuts. I took a workshop on poetry therapy to begin to get my certificate to lead workshops. Oh and im taking a creative writing class. I am hanging an art show on friday. Im applying to every job grant and show I can find.

Plan for today: add good to the world. I’m gonna paint and read poetry.

I’m filling out applications today to apply for jobs as well as master’s in art or doctorates in poetry or folk tales. Got any ideas for me?

It’s live. My art on www.thatpollygirl.com and my new calendars!!
