#sparkchamber 010620 — Three Years!

010620 4qs.jpg

It’s coming up on the third anniversary of #sparkchamber! How is that possible? It feels like just a few heartbeats ago that we wondered how people do it … how they find the time and make the space to get it done — whatever *it* is. And here we are, plus-or-minus 150 glimpses into the creativity continuum later, each and every with their own path, their own drive, their own destination. In a continuous stream or by fits and starts, heart and soul bring voice to the vision. Whether dreamer or planner, innovator or adaptor, auto-pilot or over-driver — it is completely remarkable. And truly inspiring. As the time passes and another year circles by, it calls to mind lines from T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets: to arrive where we started / and know the place for the first time.

As we enter the next year, we’d love to know what you’re up to. The online creative-process questionnaire is short, and your responses can be as brief or deep as you wish. Maybe a fun way to get the ball rolling on 2020?

Thanks for three great years!! Stay tuned for more …
