JoySpace

Your art is a place you always return to. — Pat Benincasa

The pandemic has caused a shift in our daily lives and we are forced to think and behave in new ways. What can we as writers hold on to during these challenging weeks? How can we spark joy? Be open to exploring? Find JoySpace in what we know best and return to the love of line, words and stories. Yes, it’s possible to be “graced” even now by our love of creating. Creativity grabs our attention in a blessed way—it feeds us, nourishes our soul, and brings us joy. But we must be willing to depart from routine, explore a little and stretch ourselves. I was reminded of this lesson when my two youngest granddaughters Zoomed with me this week.
