While I’m out here in Toronto (or just outside of Toronto to be more accurate), I just HAD to meet my friend and kindred creative spirit Jamie. What a treat to finally meet this amazing woman in person!!! Jamie is such a wise, intuitive soul who dances vibrantly with life. That’s us above finishing up our dinner. (I’m hoping she got a better picture!)
Jamie and I “met” early last year through an online coaching community for creative artists. One of my paintings was posted on the home page and Jamie reached out in her magical way to connect. From there we started to exchange e-mails back and forth, each time finding more things we have in common and are passionate about. Since then, we’ve been supporting each other in building our businesses, living creative lives and making a positive impact in the world. We’ve even started to collaborate together on ways to be pioneers in the emerging field of Expressive Arts Coaching.
I love that we both do things even if they scare us (see collaboration point above for just one example). I love knowing that I can drop her a line when I’m frustrated or stuck because I know she’ll understand AND she’ll call me forth. I love knowing I can always look to her for inspiration and insight. I love knowing that we’re there to celebrate successes with each other. I love that all of this grew out of a simple, spontaneous e-mail hello.
Who are you wanting to meet? What magic might unfold by simply saying hello to someone you don’t know? What new connection can you create today?
It’s the Dynamic Duo!!! 🙂 🙂 I imagine that the two of you hit it off fabulously in person. You have so many wonderful things in common. I’m glad to know both of you wonderful wise women! 🙂 This photo makes me smile.
Yay! What a fantastic experience it was to meet you in RL, Jenn. I am so glad we had the opportunity to do that. It was awesome to be able to reach out and give you a hug and see with my own eyes the beautiful things you’ve created. What a joy!
