Patricia – I like how you describe it. I too read much with awe and wonder, frequently your comments! As I said to Shazia, I would love to see this community continue and flourish, and would love to gauge people’s interest in that. Perhaps a closed online community of creative women dedicated to creative self-care? The set up would be similar, except in a private format. We’d have some guidelines for sharing, commenting, etc to keep things feeling supportive and helpful.

Cheers,
Amy

Shazia: Thanks so much for your wonderful voice and contributions here. I’m so glad that the challenge helped shed light on all of the good things you are already doing, as well as some ways to incorporate more.

I can’t wait to have you be a part of the next challenge! Please think about being a part of my “focus group.” I’m interested in feedback via email about your experience and whether you might like to be a part of an online creative self-care community so that we can keep this community and feeling alive!

Cheers,

Amy

This is a great way to remind ourselves about self care and I am happy that we all contributed to the challenge. Now off to do some painting..

I read many of the posts with awe and wonder… So great to hear from others that are committed to caring for themselves, and so much creativity, as we each took the prompts and made them our own. Thank you to each person that contributed, and congratulations to our winner! Actually, we all won… Just by participating and taking time to share our experiences. I want to carry this experience with me, and build on it. Thanks again to Amy, who took the time to graciously respond to each post. I feel like I got to know your heart of compassion and caring, Amy. I look forward to another opportunity to connect in the future. Thank you for this gift you gave all of us. Take good care, Patricia

And thank you Amy for this fabulous community-building exercise. I waited for my prompts every day. I noticed how some prompts were already a part of my day, and I saw them in a new light. And some prompts, well, they were very hard to incorporate into my day. But now I have a great toolkit to play with whenever I am feeling overwhelmed or underappreciated. Thank you thank you thank you for doing this! Sign me up for the next art challenge.
