life iz JUST art! : Choice for an Artful life






LIFE IZ DELICIOUS








LIFE IZ A GREAT READ


It was my greatest pleasure and delight to discover another writer who agrees with my precept of life iz JUST art!  One of my favorite authors, Maya Angelou's beautifully written book, Wouldn't Take Nothing for my Journey Now is another testimony to my belief. If you have an opportunity to read this book, you will want to reference page (66). 

 Maya says this," Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art; to bring our energies to each encounter, to remain flexible enough to notice and admit when what we expected to happen did not happen. We need to remember that we are created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed."

 In the immediate moment following my reading of this...it occured to me that it all is just that simple. "I really can choose to live an artful life and so can everyone else!"

One of the most recent choices I've made to live a more artful life includes an opportunity to lead tours as a Collection in Focus Art Guide for the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. I am already passionate about arts in general, however this is another way to express my love and interest in giving back to others who can benefit from my training.





LIFE IZ EATING

That is exactly what I plan to do right about now!
