Although it might not have sounded like it in the last couple of posts, I do love to travel. When I travel, I have at least one book with me to read and a journal to capture my thoughts in.
The book of choice for this trip was The Artist in the Office: How to Creatively Survive and Thrive Seven Days a Week. A slim tome, this book is a must for anyone who is employed and creates art.
One thing I like about the book is the “Try this” questions. Each question ties into the section before and makes you to think about your life not only as how you wish it to be, but how it currently is. You have to find your blessings and be centered where you are before you can take the steps forward. I used my journal to write down some of the things that sprung to mind while I answered some of the following questions:
- What does my job provide me with?
- How am I living my ideal life already?
- What are small steps that I can take every day to move even closer to my ideal life?
I still have more questions than answers, but I feel like getting out of my every day environment made me look at it and see that I am moving forward. And for that I am grateful.

That sounds like a good book and one that I should pick up. I try to make art. Haven’t had much time or energy lately and I notice the loss.
