#153.3 -- still celebrating (by marking time)

Friends who know me well, know that I love documenting and marking time.  Yeah, believe it or not, one year, I documented my water intake (everyday) in ounces.   I actually used Amanda Hawkins' fun worksheets to do so too!

But this is a different sort of task.  I highly recommend incorporating some sort of recording or documenting into your life.  I think it's a great tool as a means for creating a point of reference.  Recording can also give you a good boost and lead to more insight.  And, just as important, there is such power in the written word...especially when we write it.

Since August 19, 2012, I have been inspired to and have actually done something about these things here on create everyday:

• I designed 3 different create everyday online classes
• I practiced 5 monthly creative commitments: Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan and March
• I have a new website that keeps evolving (thank you heather l murphy art + design!)
• I intentionally practice purposeful experience (thanks for the push, accidental creative)
• I have completed 16 book reports
• I have written 152 blog posts
• I figured out a way to introduce myself (not an easy task, I say)
• I designed the thank you 2012...hello 2013 workshop
• I came up with a more efficient system for painting commissions
• I designed 2 - 30 day Creative Commitment Challenge workshops: February + May
• I posted 12 artist interviews
• I developed a creative coaching business
• I started drawing with pastels
• I developed and started teaching my art curriculum for children
• I designed an abstract online painting class
• I completed my first video (and a few more)
• I have a very rough draft of my very own press kit
• oh, yeah, AND I finally got on instagram too

There's more.  I like to do this too:

• That's a new 5 day class every 4 months
• That's creating one piece of work everyday for 210 days
• That's 1.3 book reports a month
• That's 2.9 posts a week
• That's one artist interview a month

Thank you, readers, for making all of THIS more possible.
