Having fun playing with the camera. Have lots to learn but you have to start somewhere!
I just finished Chapter 2 of The Artist's Way as part of Paula's online group.  I know there are many things I could take away from this chapter but the three most important to  me are (1) to trust my creativity (2) to nuture and take care of  myself and (3) that the process not the product will become ( and is becoming) my focus.  Since retiring I have been focusing on my creative self and it has been an interesting journey.  I have learned to embrace and to celebrate my creativity.  I now have time to nurture myself although I realize this should have always been a priority.   I definitely am enjoying the process of creating and although my final products are not perfect I am happy with what I am doing.   Chapter 2 reinforced what I think I always knew but didn't always practice.  Now on to chapter 3.

"The process, not the product." This is an important one for me to learn to focus on, too!

Nice post - you are going in a good direction, I think :)

This book has been on my list for some time....maybe now I won't have to read it, if you will be summarizing it on your blog. :) Sounds like very good material.

Sounds like you've been having a great time with this book! I'm so glad.

Process is so important, isn't it? Sometimes we need reminders of that.

Great self portrait photo, too!

Here's to trusting your creativity, nurturing yourself and taking wonderful care of you, and thoroughly enjoying the process in the, er... process! Perfection is B-O-R-I-N-G! So here's to those happy accidents that we think are mistakes at first, but that actually turn out to be the first inklings of our own fabulous and secret art techniques! Hehe!
