So even though I'm almost always strapped for time, I made a goal for this year to create something once every week for the entire year. It's ridulously lofty and yet it is a goal that I'm really excited about. I think about creating art almost all the time, and often I begin, but don't finish. It drives the perfectionist in me absolutely bonkers. BONKERS!
I've been tweaking my rules here and there -- initially I thought I would create an artwork once a week, and then I opened it up to simply creating something. That includes stuff like cooking (or baking) something new, building a new garden bed or feature, sewing myself a skirt, making a birdhouse...or even a daisychain, whatever! It's all about the act of creating. I'll write about the things I make and hopefully it will inspire you to create, too, on whatever schedule fits your lifestyle.
Julie Nixon is love. She loves you. She has soul but she's not a soldier. She knows that everyone has a room about inside them, and hopes this website will encourage visitors to share a little bit of their room. She believes that we have the capacity to do great things with great love. This website is her great thing. Please read more about this website and Julie's story.
Hi, Julie here. "This Inspired Life" is currently my full-time employment. My intention is to provide consistent and exceptionally valuable content to the members and visitors of this website. If you browse around and discover something of value to you, I would very much appreciate a donation. Even buy me a cup of coffee! (Vanilla Latte please!) All donation will help me to continue updating this site with worthy content and will keep ads and affiliate links to a minimum (oh yes, there will be monetizing of the site!). It will also help pay for professional writers to contribute to the magazine. (PS: I have an Amazon wish list too.)
Phase 2 will include a social networking area where members can share their artistic creations and connect with others. Phase 3 will be a retail store for members, and will also include art materials, stationary, books and the like. I'd love for you to be a part of the creative community we're building.
