Lake Michigan sandwiched between the white of the sky and beach. A good — if very cold — place to contemplate.
“Your life is your art, what are you creating today?” — Unknown
Snow is gently falling outside the window, piling up and covering the world in white. A time for stillness. Giving the mind space to think, if you allow for it. The calendar says it’s the end of the year, and a new one is about to unfold. It’s a time of reflection, to pause and note where you are and ponder, as the author of your life, how you want this next chapter to go.
Lake Michigan plus a snowy shore.
It involves some meditation, some writing and reflection. I think it goes back to another quote, by Socrates: “An unexamined life is not worth living.”

So it goes this time of year, I make some space in my studio for dreaming and examination of this life I live, thinking of how I want to feel in the year to come and what I want to create and cultivate. Whatever it is you want to make space for in your life that is just for you, I want to encourage you to do so. And I’d love to hear about it.
