And I did something remarkable....I went to Artfest!!! I almost didn't go. I was exhausted, uninspired, and defiantly not feeling creative. All I wanted to do was crawl into my bed and sleep for 100 years.
But somehow I found myself loading up my car and hitting the road for a two day drive to Port Townsend. All along I kept telling myself, "Turn around. Go home. You have way too many things to do. This is a waste of time".
I ignored myself and kept on driving.
And how happy I am that I did! I know you've all heard (or experienced), how wonderful Artfest is...and it is. It's not just (and all of) the friends I made, the fantastic teachers, the comfort of being with 600 like minded persons, the beautiful landscape, the 'happy-tired' after a long day. It's re-connecting with a part of myself I thought I had lost.
Here is the Mandala I made in Anahata's amazing class
I wish I had photos of her class...she had roses on each table!!
