Make Today Ridiculously Amazing!

This past month while my blog sat silent, I did some spring cleaning on a financial facet and also on a social one.  One notable event: my friend Jessica and I started a book club.  It's been great so far.  I am very pleased.  This month is my turn to host, and I want my house to be in tip-top shape.  (It's not going to be, so anyone who reads this will know that at least I have the best of intentions, but let's face it-- I live here with a messy hubby and all of our maniacal children.  Life is crazy good, but sometimes that requires less than perfection and a healthy dose of clutter under the scrutinous eye.  Whatever.)

I, for one, believe there is truth in the philosophy of feng shui.  If my surroundings are out of order, then my mind is as well, and vice versa.  So my spring cleaning has really taken a front seat to my writing lately.  In the long run, that will be a really good thing.  I am bringing new life to many of my surroundings, which helps feed my creativity.  Last night I did my big ol' cork board which usually holds all of my book brainstorming stuff on it.

It was previously brown brown brown.  I like this better.  I think I might gradually make this into a collage with more swirls of color and fun stuff, but I'm actually quite thrilled so far. 

So anyway, that's just one example.  I have a few more projects that I need to do in the next month as well (that's my Spring Cleaning deadline before I put myself on a writing boot camp to catch up).  But in the mean time, I just have one thing to say:

And embrace your creativity in your own special way.
