Hello friends! Today marks my 100th post on Substack and I wanted to celebrate! First of all, if you’re reading this, I want to start by saying “Thank you.” Thank you for being a part of my slow growing artsy fartsy blog that seems to keep gaining momentum. My goal with my writing is to share with you all lessons learned from making art and practicing art therapy in some form or another over the past 30+ years. Sometimes I try to share with you the health and wellness benefits of a regular creative practice, and sometimes I like to encourage you to meditate, because it’s really good for your brain. Other times I ask you to consider practicing yoga because no matter how bendy you are or aren’t, yoga is just good for your body and your mind! Healthy like an apple-a-day kind of thing. Somedays I just like to post artwork, and not say a whole lot. I find the more I write on a regular basis, the more I’m enjoying that as well. And you all must be enjoying it too, because you’re here joining me on this creative journey. For me, that’s super duper coolio! I’m over the moon about it all!
