As you know if you read my post yesterday, I’m struggling a little at the moment with trying to figure out exactly where I’m going and what I am doing.
I know I’m not the only one. An artist friend of mine who I knew only briefly but who was part of the inspiration for the moon lady image that I use as my header, caught me on Facebook and we chatted a little bit. We are each at a searching stage of our journey. So I suggested we give each other challenges to help break free of our fears and just be creative. I gave her a list of words to use as her first challenge: tree, blue, book, candle, and purple. In return, she gave me these words: window, red, coffee, paper, pencil and brown.
We gave each other a week to accomplish some kind of creation, but of course avoiding the list making I was intending to do today led me to finding inspiration in her words. I have since created this collage of inspirational images that I have hung over my computer. All photos were taken by me, so that counts.

Cool, Lisa. I love it.
By the way, if you get less traffic than usual, it could be because the email I got announcing this post was completely blank. I took the long way around to get here. Same thing happened with Mark’s latest post. Maybe it’s just me this is happening to.

I’m not going to worry about it. Technology is annoying me a lot lately.

No blank blogs here, Lisa! Hey–love that title Coffee Cup Dreams. Are you going to keep it? My mind started ticking off ideas with those words and then I saw your title . . . Can’t wait to see what you create.

There’s some kind of technical glitch, because the post is not blank but for some reason it isn’t working through e-mail. I don’t know how to fix it.

Great! I love the term “short term goal”.
Breaking it up is good.

All I seem to be able to deal with at the moment are short term goals.

Those red leaves are especially tickling my fancy. Hope you had fun!

They are actually bright red berries, and I keep walking by that house which I love and noticing the fabulous contrast of the red against the yellow. I finally decided to take a picture (and felt kind of stalkerish doing it). I think that is my current dream home.
Now stop commenting and get studying.
