We are all drawn to simple – if someone can just provide the structure and let us modify it from there. That’s me, I love to learn structure!

I am definitely learning more about me – through you Leah, and I can’t thank you enough.

I loved the exercise, I’ll be implementing that! As soon as I opened my arms, I felt like I was inviting inspiration into my life. I could actually hear music when I did the last exercise – smooth, rapid, jerky. (oops, was that the month of sound intruding?)

Gosh, I love this. I love you. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Kerry.

The connection between movement and creativity is one that’s become increasingly clear to me over the last few years. One of the things I’ve learned from hanging out with indigenous people is that they keep their energy flowing by moving – dancing, clapping, jumping up and down, running around.

So if I’m feeling stuck – with a painting, with a conversation, with life – I try to remember to get up and move. It’s crazy helpful and it gets everything moving for me.

My nature is to sit and think when I’m stuck, which is rarely as helpful as dancing like a kooky pook for a few minutes. So I’m trying to learn new habits. Slowly, slowly.

Thanks again for this interview!

And also thank you for the link to Gretchen.

I neglect my body so much and laughed out loud at Gretchen’s post where her body is trying to persuade her to stretch it. My body doesn’t make requests of me and so I almost entirely put it’s needs last.
If I saw the link more clearly to it serving the creative side I might just listen to it and find it’s hoarse with asking but I’d not been listening.

I recently “discovered” Gretchen and am a subscriber to her blog. Loved the hand dance.
