“I’m grateful to have come across Beth’s work, as it reminded me of a much simpler and more joyful relationship with art.”
Yes! You’ve sparked an idea within me because I think the world would be a much better place if people allowed themselves time to create. I own an old building (119 years old, to be exact) in our small town. We operate it as an event venue (because one day I want to stop using my day job to fund it), but sometimes I have storytimes for the community. I did a few art classes, too, but was discouraged because participation was low. But they were marketed at kids’ art classes. What would happen if I offered art classes for all?! I’m no expert, but I can create collage art, draw (amateurish), paint dot art. I just need to get back to my inner child for ideas because I used to spend hours creating as a kid. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey! That's great! I'm so glad you got that spark from this newsletter! And thank you for sharing your thoughts :).
From my take, you don't have to be an 'expert' to create space for creativity. You just have to be human!
If you want to take this idea forward, I'm up for being a sounding board for you :). We can have a Zoom call, and I can listen and dialogue with you so you can see what's next with it.
You would be helping me too - I'm designing a dialogue/coaching/self-enquiry structure that I'd like to offer as part of Co-Create in the near future, so it would also be great for me to see if/how I can help you in this way.
If you're up for collaborating, just send a reply to the email and we can make a time!
Yes - this one is right at the top of modern inanities. Right alongside the passive-aggressive comments local facebook groups by self-appointed neighbourhood police, about people not picking up their dog poops.
Hehe - I felt the same way when I went through the questions too. But it was a great one for reflecting and really enquiring into what I even want out of a friendship, let alone what I offer. So it made it into the top 5!

What do you find annoying in this great charade we call “modern life”?
I can only choose one? Curating the finer points of our lives on social media. And then scrolling through others’.

"Would you want to be your own friend?" I feel called out 🥲😅
