I love what you wrote, Kara, and your word is great! I hope many will read this wonderful comment!

Thanks for sharing, Cathy!

Thank you for commenting, Adrienne! The community Bloom and Fly is most active when an online workshop is running. I have run an artist coaching program called The Exploring Artist in the past and that was full of discussions about artistic goals and such. We also had face-to-face meetings online. But when people sign up for a coaching program, it’s a much bigger investment both in time and money, and they are willing to share more, show some vulnerability too, and that always evokes conversations. But I think we have had great discussions in the regular community as well. It only takes a few members to open up. I welcome you to do so too! What we need, is often up to ourselves.

Thanks so much, Tammie Lee!

My word for this year is CONCENTRATE. I need to think about one thing at a time, and not keep ‘too many irons in the fire’, as the saying goes. My speciality is in writing plays, poems and short stories. Now I have to concentrate on writing a book about a Pict.
