BEHIND THE BLOG

As writer, teacher, jewelry-maker and everyday woman, I'm fascinated by the ways that clarity and clutter shape creative lives. To me, the question of how much stuff we have is far less important than how much time, freedom and focus we can bring to our creative efforts. Sure, sometimes clutter manifests tangibly, as supplies, possessions, or mementos. But just as often it appears in less physical (but no less powerful) forms: as distractions, drains, obligations, expectations, judgments, and fears that leave us no time or energy to make art or even dream dreams. My first "DeClutter Your Creativity" classes were inspired by my own personal struggle to find the balance of abundance and emptiness needed to fuel my work...and to find it again, and again, and again as my life and work evolve. This blog is another way to dialogue on the subject: written with curiosity, compassion and (sometimes) comedy from the often befuddling place where creativity and clutter meet.

JENNIFER HOFMANN ON THE HABIT OF BUSY-NESS

Jennifer Hofmann's Inspired Home Office blog speaks not just to those of us who work at home but also all of us "decluttering creatives." Her latest post on the addiction of busy-ness explores that issue beautifully, and the small "to do" tasks at its end are both easy and powerful. I receive her email newsletter and find it to be full of helpful ideas, yet also brief enough to enjoy in the middle of, yes, a busy week. Highly recommended browsing for all of you who, like me, are trying to create sacred, restful and/or creative time in your life!
