Inspiring Music

These are some songs/artists that I have been listening the most to recently, especially while getting my creative juices flowing.  So I thought I would share with you.  And even though I'm only giving you a link to one song, you should check out their other songs too.

       ~Alexi Murdoch-All of My Days
Ever since I watched Away We Go, I have fallen in love with Alexi Murdoch.  He has a calming tone, but almost peppy and comforting tune/beat.  He is pretty unique.

        ~Ian Axel-This is the New Year
I cannot utterly describe my obsession with this song.  It is so darn peppy that I have unashamedly and repeatedly jumped up and danced and nailed the air guitar/drum instrumental part, or danced and blasted the music while in my car.

        ~Sara Bareilles-Sweet as Whole
This song is...awesome.  And inappropriate.  But Sara turns Taylor Swift bitchy songs into something beautiful.  You won't be able to help but sing along.

        ~Speechwriters LLC-Blood on the Frets
A really good alternative/indie kind of band.  Definitely applies in many moods and can be pretty entertaining.

I had this great new idea today!  What if I painted/drew my own Christmas cards?!  I may just be adding to my pile of work, but I think I want to give it a shot.  So in the spirit of the 12 days of Christmas, I will paint 12 Christmas cards! Again, this will be first come, first serve!

"Why I'm Dysfunctional Today"

Things I've learned about being in the "real world" so far/or what I have experienced while still living with my parents:    Since I now schedule my own work time...                I like to get projects done one at a time before moving onto another one,         which then results in me undertaking this huge project, and working on that-which is usually not that important-not getting anything else done all day, and then wearing myself out because I feel like I didn't do anything (since I haven't finished the project).          That being said, I think all projects I have will take 1-3 days tops.  Not even close.         So then I tried to move on to scheduling my days about hour by hour, or 2-3 hours at a time.  This result?  Spending way too much free time on the computer and talking to friends, or not accounting for travel and eating time....

Some of you may know already, but for the past 11-12 weeks, I have been reading "The Artist's Way-Walking in This World" by Julia Cameron.  And I have already learned a great deal about myself, my art self, and fueling my creativity.   So for this post, I am extending on one of the "tasks," as well as sharing a tidbit of what I read.  "As artist's, we routinely tap an inner well, and the well is fed by our spiritual condition.  When we have kept our spirit carefully nurtured, the creative water seems to flow easily.  When our spirit is dried out with unacknowledged discouragement, our inner well runs dry."  "As artists, we don't want to be petty, but the truth is, we need  to be.  If we try to 'let go of' a creative slight, we very often simply bury it.  There, tucked neatly into our subconscious, it can do its slow and poisonous work.  Too embarrassed to repeat the 'tiny' comment to a friend on the way out the door fr...
