#C4ward March Blogathon (Day 2): Envisioning the future of my creative work

ALTARING THE SELF (art by Hallelujah Truth)
Hallelujah for BEING HERE NOW and for ENVISIONING the FUTURE! Hallelujah for C4 Atlanta hosting this blogathon and building a creative community! 

After considering my MISSION in Day #1 of the C4ward March Blogathon (here), today, Day #2, we are looking at envisioning the future of our creative work! BIG LOVE!

THE BIG NOW OF I:

Who am I? I am Hallelujah Truth, grace making artist, dancing yes to abundant, meaningful relationships and work easefully and joyfully. (For those of you just meeting me, I choose to blog from the persona of a playful ecstatic art maker and enthusiast. Writing from Hallelujah Truth's perspective fills me with glee and productivity.)
DANCING YES! I'm in the center here at a Dancing Flower's workshop in  Fall 2013.
THE BEINGNESS OF HALLELUJAH TRUTH'S CREATIVE WORK:

WHAT IS THE NOWNESS OF MY WORK? I see my art work as being courageous acts speaking HEART as honestly as my drawing, painting, and computer skills permit.

My visual images resulting from psychological explorations and experiences have manifested opportunities for me to co-create with scientists, environmentalists, and art community leaders. I have given workshops (here and here) and presentations (here, here, here, here). I have illustrated a book (here)and working on another (here). 

Therefore, as an art maker, collaborator, environmentalist, speaker, and arts community builder, MY WORK NOW is vital currency for connection and positive beingness and change.

HOW IS MY WORK EVOLVING AND CHANGING? With time, ongoing courage, and creative movement, I am easefully dancing my way into the motto I coined yesterday for my t-shirt: ART EQUALS ABUNDANCE.  

As I inhabit my 55-year-old body through InterPlay, Dance Church, and Dancing Flowers for Peace, I am leaping, swooping, and thrusting playfully and earnestly into earning a living in the following ways...

Artist
A Creativity Consultant 
Pronunciation Coach 
InterPlay Leader

I am trusting in the resourcefulness I have gathered in my years as an educator, writer, editor, and artist. I am making the choice to culminate, manifest, explode, celebrate and earn a living wage from my considerable talents.

WHAT IS MY SOURCE OF INSPIRATION?:
LOVE propels me mightily. Happiness surges through me when I am with you and we are sharing our passions.

MY FUTURE (According to the Intergalatic Arts Journal):
Hallelujah Truth dances from planet to star in her full universal planethood. Her easeful imaginative leaps have inspired multitudes to establish their own creative pods. Cosmic communities abound sustaining themselves based on the following simple belief:  

Support and respect the individual's vision (bejeweled link). 
Then lovingly integrate it with diverse others (other jeweled links). 
Ornament everyone with the cosmic communal chain (pretty necklace).

That's Coffee with Hallelujah. SOUL BLOG with me and tell me about how you envision your future creative work.

  1. I appreciate the integration of image and word; your art--which is multimodal--reflects your words and vice versa and that's cool.
