Hi Artists,
Today is the day! Are you ready? (Are we ever really ready?).
In the hero’s journey, this stage is the call to adventure or the call to action. The quest begins! No one knows what will happen, but there’s sure to be tension, excitement, challenges, and growth ahead.
“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.” ― Joseph Campbell
What was your call to action? Or, in other words, what made you want to do the project this year? What’s pulling you? It might be a word, a theme, a mantra, a goal.
Write it down and put it somewhere you’ll see it every day – on your desk or your fridge, the cover of your notebook, the lock screen or wallpaper of your phone or computer.
Exploring your why and keeping it at the forefront of your mind will help you when you get stuck.
As always, you’re welcome and encouraged to share in the comments here.
And when in doubt: KEEP GOING!
XO,
LJT
P.S. If the hero’s journey is new to you, here’s a short video.

Not sure if Facebook is ok platform?
Day #1 and done. I live in NZ so we are leading the charge here! My 'call to action' is to connect through this challenge with my Aunty who lives in England. So it's "100 Days Across the Miles". Whilst we enjoy our freedom and the sunshine, she is enduring another winter on her own and a never-ending lockdown. She is an artist, who hasn't been inspired to create over the last year. When I sent her this idea, she leapt at it, and has a wonderful list of three things she's decided to do for 100 days. So I've matched with three. I would love to post pics and share my project but I can't seem to access the right links on FB or Insta. Can someone help me with this?
