Blog 15
For this week, I had a completely
different blog planned, but then I experienced a week in which lots
of smaller and bigger obstacles were put in my way, obstacles that
needed my attention. Therefore, I was sitting in front of my computer
on Thursday evening needing a blog for the next day. At first, I
started to panic, but then I realized that I had to make the best out
of the situation. Sometimes, life takes over and you have to deal
with difficult incidents. In these situations, it is important to
remember the joyful moments when living felt easy.
Last Sunday was a time like that. I
hosted my first Art Cafe, an event that I created because I enjoy
having guests, and I am on a mission to make art more accessible.
Getting a group of people together around a nicely set table was the
perfect setting to get to know each other while enjoying coffee/tea
and some treats. These days, we spend more time connecting through
social media than actually meeting people. I truly cherish the face
to face conversations, and I feel that more and more people are
looking to reconnect in person, instead of depending on video and
social media communications.
However, it was not only a social
gathering. Many of us are so busy that we do not make time to be
creative. I wanted to provide an inviting atmosphere for people to
experience art. I had taken down the paintings that usually decorate
our living room walls, and replaced them with flower paintings as
inspiration for playful floral doodles. We were only a small group,
but we had so much fun doodling. We shared lots of stories, laughed
heartily, and were amazed at our very different and unique doodles.
If you would like to be part of the next Art Cafe, please join me on
June 9, 2019, at 3 pm. I am not sure what little project I will
prepare, but I think, it will include old magazines and books. Please
