Lucky Me!!!!

I entered a drawing a bit ago posted at the awesome blog

Free Spirit Knits.

I didn't win.

In her announcement of the winner

she offered the chance to win another prize.

A spot in the

experimental art e-course

with the talented

Amelia Critchlow.

Once again, I didn't win. 

The winner wasn't able to follow through on the class.

Guess what?????

I was the second runner up!!!

I won a spot in the class.

The first series of assignments are certainly

NOT

bringing out any artistic savant in me

but

they have been good for me.

It's all about playing

and doing.

Not thinking.

Something I definitely need practice in.

Your assignment today is to do one thing freely.

 ~ Create a piece of art without putting thought to it (perhaps work to music).

 ~ Write a poem or letter and let the words flow without judgment.

 ~ Take pictures without over analyzing the shot. Just point and shoot and see what you get.

 ~ Cook up a storm. Make up a new recipe for a soup or salad with ingredients you have on hand.

 ~ Take a walk and when you come upon a park, swing, teeter totter, slide without thought to what you look like or what others think.

Do one thing freely.

Baby steps.

Practice to living freely.

That's your assignment from me.

Now go.

Be free!
