Tammy Vitale – 3 Litte Bits of Inspiration

In this post Tammy Vitale describes how despite naysayers’ views, the internet can actually be inspiring for artists. Here is an excerpt:

“Yesterday I discovered I made a mistake on my (filed) taxes that means I have to file amended and get less money back. Started to throw my day into a funk.
Here’s where is gets interesting.You know how they say on-line friendships aren’t real?

Well, I put a call out on FaceBook for good energy because mine was low (okay I was in reaction). And folks responded. You know as well as I do that when you’re in a funk just knowing there are others out there paying attention and willing to send good thoughts your way is HUGE.

So don’t tell me the internet and the folks you meet there are less valuable than face to face interactions. When you work alone in your home all day, the internet can be a critical social connection. Many thanks to all those who sent such lovely notes!

My ‘cure’ was playing with my vision journal. I got out my magazines and dreamed over a redone 1st floor bath (shower curtain and floor, which needs replacing), and my outside space: rocks, shade plants, more rocks, small trees, more rocks (I have to import rocks.

What we have is clay. So all you folks with rocks? that are free? There’s something for your gratitude list!). Then coloring with crayons around the pictures to make them whole. I’ll share when I’m done.

I think February may well be the longest month of the year.

That said, I must also share that there are great things out and about on the web. So here you go.”
