What Color is Today?

One of my sisters used to remind me that I might be more in harmony with Monday the if I wore a certain color that day. There’s many systems of thought regarding what color will maximize the energy of that day. Consulting Wikipedia I found this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_the_day. Maybe it will give you some ideas.
Sunday – Red
Monday – Yellow
Tuesday – Pink
Wednesday – Green
Thursday – Orange
Friday – Blue
Saturday – Purple

What Cannot Be Taken Away

I participated in a two hour workshop titled: “What Cannot Be Taken Away, A Visual Arts Workshop,” taught by Evan Bissell yesterday. The focus was “Health and Healing as Justice.”  Two quotes Evan shared resonated with me.

“You have to have the ocrrect analysis to have the correct conclusion.” – Elaine Brown, a former leading member of the Black Panther Party, author, and advocate for juvenile justice.

“Breathing in, I see myself as still waters.  . . breathe out, I see things as they are. ”  – Thich Nhat Hanh

Welcome!

Hello. You don’t have to be a fan of art to join in. I will share what I learn from workshops, talks, books, travels, friends, encounters and revelations that hopefully you will find helpful and applicable to living your artful life. What is an “artful” life?  Stay tuned, as I’m a fan of Seth Godin’s Linchpin, and Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, among many other great motivational teachers.

I chose the name “ArtSpirit” from Robert Henri’s book The Art Spirit.  And I am the 7th child, so please join me on my artist’s journey.
