Dear readers,

Today I worked again in my artjournal. Just trying out again, playing with colours. Not product-oriented (which resulted in quite a ‘loud’ artjournal-page today, but anyway ;-)’

Today I have been thinking about something, when I was writing a blogpost (in Dutch, by the way) about what creativity or art means in the rest of my/your life. I am having a coachingpractice, mainly for people that have small and very personal businesses. And how has the fact that I have started painting again influences the other part of my live and work?

Obviously it has changed my ‘personal’ live. I am a much happier person, more ‘alive’, more content, because of the creative flow that I have in my life. Even throwing some colours on paper, without much pretense (? is that a word?) is an enjoyable and inspiring activity that carries me through the day. (Sounds dramatic, but you know what I mean).

But does it affect my business too? I find: yes. In my case it has convinced me that especially if you work for yourself you need to build this creative muscle, to follow through on an important desire. I think my artmaking will influence the course that my work is taking with small entrepreneurs. Still pondering about it, and I will keep you posted.

Bye!

Simone
