AND i decided to attend my very FIRST art retreat! I am so happy to be going to An Artful Journey next February and just cannot wait to meet so many of the wonderful and amazing people I’ve been connecting with online. Not to mention all of the artists that will be there that I haven’t even met yet!
It took a bit to decide which art retreat to attend, since every single one I read about I wanted to be a part of, but allowing myself to even go on an art retreat took a lot of getting out of my head. Sometimes my mind kicks in and tries to rationalize it all and thinks, “why on earth do you need to go on an art retreat in California?” Ah, because it’s an art retreat in California. Of course! And I just cannot wait!
and i am so crazy thankful for all of these wonderful things!
