I loved hearing your voiceover Heather! I was nodding my head in agreement at so many points in your talk. :) I am puzzled at my need to 'refill' my cup of energy after wonderful art encounters. Like you, I think back to much busier times in my life - how did I manage it all?? I do realize however that it is healthier to respect my need for solitude after busy days - and my creativity benefits.
I enjoyed hearing your own voice rather than the auto voiceover. It’s tiring to read substack posts on a phone screen, so I like this option. I’m energised by a change of scene, walking in the landscape or even a walk around the block! Sometimes an art gallery, I should include music, books and friendship too. As well as external stimuli, we also have to nurture our inner resources of spirit and imagination to energise us.
I love your reply Jacinta.. Nicely put how external stimuli can be so simple as even a walk around the block! Yes to Inner and outer resources ..Both essential for energizing our artist selves !
I know what you mean about putting yourself out there for teaching or presenting- scary but energizing. I am off to Tuscany next week , with friends , not solo But I am the organizer, the person with the necessary phone and internet connections. I do and do not want to be this person! I am nostalgic about the old days when it seemed simpler !
Ah how wonderful for you to go on another adventure! I understand what you are saying however about being the main person in charge of a trip .. travel comes with its own challenges and one hopes that everyone is flexible and appreciative of the journey ! Enjoy ! I hope you derive plenty of inspiration too!

Yes it’s so interesting how life continues to stay busy - and how we manage our “ down time”
