Being kind to yourself will be reflected in your art. If we are too harsh on ourselves, how can we be kind to others? I am pushing myself to higher and more transparent levels. My wife gave me a box of cards for the holidays in 2022. I was puzzled because they were creativity cards and I thought, what the heck is this, I don't need them. Well, folks, I was wrong and I will attempt to do a card a week and record an episode about how I am utilizing the card I draw every week if you decide to pick up a deck and do these let me know.

Kindness: the quality or state of being kind, a kind deed: FAVOR, archaic : AFFECTION

Love: strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties, an attraction based on sexual desire: affection and tenderness felt by lovers, affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests

Lovingkindness: tender and benevolent affection

As you practice extending love, do you feel your heart opening up to creativity? How? Why?

Reflect alone or in a group: What are some of the most moving pieces of art made in the name of love?

Meditate now:

May I be filled with loving kindness, may I feel safe from inner and outer dangers, may I be well in body and mind, and may I be at ease and happy.
