Chapter 2 Aligning your Creative Compass

"Wonderfully written words and I totally relate to the Creative Eclectic thing. Is it a curse or a gift? It really doesn't matter because for those of us who are afflicted with it, it is not a matter of choice."

I love this quote artspiritvillage left on my blog. The artist who commented found the words to describe the dilemma of creative eclectics everywhere.

Chapter 2 of my book, Aligning your Creative Compass, helps the reader to reconnect with his or her creative core. When we retrace our creative history, we become aware of the people and situations that contributed to our unique personalities. This process creates an acceptance of our scattered natures.

Our internal compass directs us to follow our unique path of artistry. The following pen and ink, created by Gina M. Wilson (my sister), begins Chapter 2 to provide a visual of what it might look like to follow your heart's compass.

Here is an excerpt from Chapter 2 Aligning your Creative Compass:

"Aligning your creative compass often includes a sense of "missing" something crucial to your identity. Deeply repressed feelings claw to get out. A little girl buried long ago vaguely flashes in your mind. The need to discover who you are often begins with exploring who you were. A series of personal experiences occurred in my life that helped me to reconnect with my creativity that began in childhood. From visiting with my mother in her country home, to fashioning a clay sculpture with a garden theme, I learned how the simple pleasures of life, family, and gardens bring renewed understanding and alignment with oneself."
