  we go on many journeys during our lifetime. some planned, some unexpected. some that soothe our souls and ignite our imagination. some that challenge and threaten to derail us.

are you currently on a journey? is it of a physical or psychological nature? is it in a literal or metaphorical sense? is it being embraced or endured? did it originate by design or did it take you by surprise? was it calculated, arranged, organized? or was it impulsive, unforeseen, accidental?    

    there are obviously many ways to go on a journey. i'd love for you to jump into the conversation by telling me about your own. let's keep adding to the list . . .         if you liked this post, please share it with others. and if you'd like to receive my studio notes every week, please subscribe below.     [maxbutton id="1"]
