My Christmas Manifesto

12:28 PM Posted In Edit This 13 Comments »

Manifesto: Noun. A declaration of one's intentions.

Starting December first, I will keep a Christmas journal. In it, I will write something every
day to reflect on the holidays of my past, enjoy the holidays of the present and dream
about the holidays of my future. To some, this will be a stack of papers and trivial
scribbles, but not to me. I am taking back my Christmas, I am letting it be something I
relish and, most importantly, I am giving at least fifteen minutes every day to myself no
matter how crazy this season becomes. I hope you will share, encourage and understand
as I make something with my own hands, my own words and my own memories.

I may post some or all of my entries here. Other artists are doing this with me, and you
can see their work here. Or you may join us.

Above all: enjoy the season. I will.

lovely! and digital? Wow; that's something I haven't figured out yet. I did start and got my feet wet. Loved it, but need to spend more time at it.

Can't wait to see more of your work.
