Reverb10.7 - Community

December 7 – Community.

Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011?

I have discovered an artist community on Facebook & Twitter. I don’t have a community locally that I am involved in that is artistic or creative. Years ago, I discovered an inspiring woman online, and now I can’t remember how exactly – serendipity! Her name is Julie Jordon Scott (www.juliejordonscott.typepad.com). Her words spoke to me – and continue to speak to me. I have taken her writing courses and discovered a deeper self and began writing poetry – and writing, in general – writing with my heart. Julie seems to always be involved in something cool and unusual, so I noticed things she would join when reading her Facebook posts and checked them out. Eventually, this lead to that and wa-la…found many, many interesting people.

This year I have discovered many artists, writers, creatives online that strive to be that creative spark, that inspiration to others, that light in the world – and I find that beautiful! I have been inspired by their fearlessness in putting their souls out there for all to see with their authenticity.

For 2011, I want my life to count! I want to live each day in gratitude. I want to use my gifts to bless others. I want to live fearlessly. Be authentically me.

The websites that are on my “to do” list to take a workshop are:

1) Suzi Blu’s Les Petit Academy (http://suziblu.ning.com)
2) Willowing & Friends (http://willowing.ning.com)
3) Dirty Footprints Studio (http://networkedblogs.com/cHv1s)

I can’t wait to start…:-)
