I had to put the journal down for a week... I'd been journaling so extensively that I really stirred the funk up. It's been interesting just sitting with it. It's not in my nature to do this... I need to examine my funk, dissect it, extract its meaning. I keep going back to the "cracking the egg before its time" analogy I wrote about in "My Random Musings". I don't want to try to 'figure it out too soon, or I'll miss the depth of meaning. Whatever this funk was, it has since worked its way through and out and away and I am exited to get back to my journal.
On a different note, I've had a few very insightful meetings that may help bring some ideas to fruition I've been having about how to apply CJEA. I finally got connected with my mentor which was inspiring. Let's see... what else... I've been invited to do some Creative Journaling in the children's psych ward at a hospital in my neighborhood and I'm getting some good leads on what local organizations would be good to submit proposals to. Grant writers are coming out of the wood work since I've been feeling the need to learn about writing grants. Today I went to a "personal productivity" workshop at the Metro Library. I really liked (and paid close attention to) the workshop leader and I asked if I could contact her to pick her brain about her experiences as a facilitator... she was more than willing. Before I left, I made a copy of the evaluation form that she passed out to add to my collection of stuff to glean insight from.
So, it has definitely NOT been a boring month. I'll post more art very soon!
