Your success, and your most excellent word for 2013, compel me to suggest you also consider the journey offered by art and that you might consider articulating a vision for it. Life, ideas, expression can be distilled and expanded to such revealing intensity in art, and I believe it could enhance an enlightened life experience like yours very movingly. Example: CREATE a personal dialogue with a piece of art. CREATE the experience with the same courage, bias, gratitude and dissatisfaction as the artist might have used to create the piece. You might find you've created a lifelong journey in art. (That is, of course, assuming you haven't already) BTW - your word resonates with me incredibly, so I hope you'll forgive my uninvited submission. I believe the meaning of life itself is creativity - that we were sent here to manifest something better for the world through who we are, and art has been a huge part of my creativity. Thank you for considering. Wishing you the most extraordinary year yet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291143103033467520.post-23378496320692192372013-01-01T17:36:32.701-04:002013-01-01T17:36:32.701-04:00Thanks, Janet.

And thanks for inspiring me to choose a word of the year in the first place.<br /><br />Okay, I admit the weather this week hasn't been ideal for running but - truly - it's worth getting outdoors whenever you can. You'll be especially glad you did when it comes time to run Bluenose in May. How about driving into town and running on cleared and salted sidewalks?<br /><br />Speaking of which, just poked my head out the door and discovered it's a lovely calm night so I'm off to squeeze in a quick 5km around the lake before I make supper.

Looking forward to reading about your creative journey this year!<br /><br />As for the cold weather running - looks lovely, and such nicely cleared trails, too - I've dusted off the treadmill! Call me a wimp if you will, but at least with the treadmill, I know I won't slide into the ditch along the highway ;)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.com
