Day 92: honoring your work 🙌
entering the final stretch of #The100DayProject
Hello, Artists!
We are entering the last stretch of this year’s #The100DayProject – though I cannot emphasize this enough: however many days it takes you to do your project is perfect!
To be honest, 100 days is a totally arbitrary number. It’s made up. It’s just a container for you to explore an idea, a practice, a pull. It’s a good container, it works for a lot of people, but it doesn’t work for everyone. However many days you did your project – also perfect. I would hate if not “finishing” or following some made up rules stopped you from pursuing your next creative urge. Not all of them are meant to be finished, you know? Discernment is a skill.
Our theme this week is honoring our work.
Wherever you are, if you’re just following along this year or you did 2 days or 20 or all 100, your participation is worth celebrating. Honoring your work can mean many things. What does it mean to you?
A few questions for you to consider:
How are you feeling about the project ending soon?
What are you proud of?
Any regrets or disappointments you’d like to acknowledge?
What are you learning?
Do this project feel (almost) complete?
How can you transition with intention? What are you committed to doing by Day 100?
What is your creativity asking for now?
KEEP GOING!
XO,

I just want to keep going. It's now a wonderful practice that makes me happier for doing it every evening.
I just love when there are questions at the end of the newsletter!
So!
1. I would like to update my project and continue I think. I didn't do all 100 days, but I did a far sight better this year than last. Last year it was like 9 or 10 days total! Ha! This year, so far, I have only missed 16 days. I won't try to make up those days, I will be very satisfied with what I have accomplished.
2. I'm proud I didn't give up. Someone told me once that I was a quitter, and in some ways they are right. I don't have a problem with that because when I quit on something it means I am not having fun and it isn't important enough to continue. This time I didn't quit.
3. Regrets or disappointments? Hmm. I would have liked that my project would have been easier to share. But, I don't know that I regret that. It just is what it is. Actually, no, I do have one regret. I forgot to use the hashtag on almost everything I did. So, I may have shared, but not with this community...bad me! Hehe.
4. I am learning that art matters to me. I said earlier I didn't quit, well that means that this is important to me. This year, because my project was 3 fold, I also learned that my business matters to me. I am trying and eventually I am going to succeed!
5. Yes, it does feel complete. I feel like I did what I set out to do. I painted, I worked on my website, and I used Instagram.
6. I'm not sure, because I am not sure what this means.
7. Trying new animals, or doing birds in new ways.
