What a creative slump needs...

I came out of the holiday season ready to really dig in and create.

Creativity may depend upon a muse, an ethereal inspiration.  But it also depends upon some discipline.

Another blogger, Cristine Kane, (HERE) suggested this, and I've been doing it for several years...most productively! The product has been a life with some measure of centering on what exactly I needed during that year.
