The Creative Journey is less of a step-by-step set of directions and more like a 12-step program—admitting that you are indeed a writer or illustrator, and you may need help to survive this! ⭐ We hope you can join us at LAST (Lansing Area Shop Talk) a week from Sunday, on January 26, for a drop-in Zoom discussion. We’ll be there from 1-3 pm., so feel free to stop by and share your latest travel tips for fellow creatives on their journey.
· Counting the cost
· Planning and being prepared
· What to pack in your toolkit
· Asking for directions
· What to do when you don’t speak the language
· Travel delays
· Unexpected side tracks
· Culture shock
· Remembering to pack the right adapter
· Trying new things
· Meeting folks along the way
· Enjoying the journey
If you find yourself with a bit of time in your schedule, we hope you can turn off the expressway, grab a few travel treats (my dad would have snagged a piece of pie), something hot to warm your insides, and journey along with us.
“If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” —African Proverb
A few journey quotes to ponder as you wander:
“When setting out on a journey do not seek advice from someone who never left home.” – Rumi
“Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. They are milestones on your journey.”- Unknown
“We are all travelers in the wilderness of the world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” —Robert Louis Stevenson
“Sometimes the longest journey we take is the sixteen inches from our heads to our hearts.” – Elena Avila
Bon voyage,
