Gail’s path to Artful Living

Artful Living Journal

What is Artful Living?

How we choose to live is a creative act, and I find it most fulfilling when we start with what we value most. Then, we say Yes to what supports our values and No to what doesn’t. It sounds simpler than it is.

Why? Because it often requires subtraction rather than addition. But what remains after saying No is paradoxically fuller, simpler, clearer, and infinitely more alive.

Some days, I find it challenging. Every day, it’s worth the effort. It’s what brought me here, with you.

I call it Artful Living.
