Creative Oasis Hiatus

Rememberwhen summer meant three solid months of no schedule…staying up late…sleepingin…reading stacks of books…hanging out with friends? Remember when the biggestdecision of any given day was choosing which swimsuit you’d wear to the pool? Rememberwhat you had for breakfast? (me either!) Those days are but a fond memory, butI have taken a summer break of sorts.

ThoughI’m still coaching my fabulous one-on-one clients, my Creative Oasis DayTrippers, group classes and workshops are on a temporary hiatus. Look for them to pick backup this fall with more choices than ever. I’m using the down time to createsome new offerings including a fun new e-course created to help couples connectcreatively as well as a 6-week class focusing on weaving creativity into the workplace.

Butsummer can’t be all work and no play, so I’m also sprinkling mine with InstantOasis Moments – quick and easy, soul-satisfying bite-size bonbons of creativejoy! Five or ten minutes spent creating a collage…snapping fun photos with myphone…improvising a quick dinner using fresh veggies and herbs from a friends’garden. It’s amazing how spending even a small bit of time doing somethingcreatively fulfilling can pump up the happiness factor in your life in a such a big way.

Ihope you’re finding lots of little ways to dive into your own Creative Oasis andsqueeze the most sweetness out of this summer you can. (Think fresh lemonadewith a cherry on top!)

All the best from my summer Creative Oasis to yours,

Jill
