I’m not much of a ‘resolution gal’, but where 2012 felt like the year of decisions and grown up moves, 2013 feels like the year of action. So, I’m challenging myself to do a painting a week for the next six (yep, 6) months. Here’s my first piece…

I love where my business is now and wouldn’t trade my professional decisions for anything, but I do miss painting and spending my time being creative and well, colorful!, so I’m excited to give this a whirl and see what happens. It wasn’t hard at all to get started, but I did cancel my cable to help keep me motivated.

I also continue to follow these two blogs that always inspire me to take action:

Dominic Wilcox’s Variations on Normal

Joel Runyon’s Blog of Impossible Things

What’s one small (or big) thing you can do to get yourself excited again about getting out of bed and moving on with your life? Doing a few paintings is a small thing, but the creative energy and support generated by committing to this challenge could bring some surprising results. And I, for one, am ready for a little adventure in 2013! Join me and let’s keep each other motivated, committed and engaged.

Here’s to a COLORFUL 2013!
