Daily Practice


One of the benefits of blogging is that you get to meet and interact with people with similiar interests. Tom brought home some old law books that he thought I might be able to use. He suggested I could make books from them and ErinZam posted some recrafted law books on her blog which further lead to this inspiration posted above.

I get a lot of pleasure out of reading Michelle Maule's blog about her daily practice. I aspire to write daily, at least during the week.

On a different note, Tom and I discovered Autobody Fine Art in Alameda. Pure pleasure. It's a beautiful gallery: youthful, emerging, a little "rough" in a good way and brings it out excitement in me. I had a great therapy experience around this as well. Instead of thinking that this gallery is "outside" of me, I can actually relate to it as being "me" and "take this pill" whenever needed to bring that excitement back to my daily life. We had lunch at Burma SuperStar in Alameda. Super yummy and we'll be back!

Hey thanks Erin! Wow. That seems so long ago. I haven't done anything with them since… but lately thanks to more inspiration from Lisa Sonora Beam's The Creative Entrepreneur: http://thecreativeentrepreneur.biz/, http://lovelydesign.com/ and Carolee Gilligan Wheeler http://www.superdilettante.com/ and http://www.podpodpost.com/ I'm inspired to put other things inside my books besides blank pages!
