Super Pack! - Not the political kind 😉
You're going on a trip?!?
What is this trip?
How can I make this type of thing happen?
Whelp, I'm so excited that I have to post about it. I'm on my way to the Netherlands and Italy! All to see and make art!! The map is on this page, or just click here for a larger version.
So this whole adventure started with an artist retreat acceptance to this really cool Italy workshop that I have wanted to do for a few years now. I mean, who wouldn't want to go to Tuscany, focus on some of your own craft with amazing mentors/people and push yourself in possible different directions? Did I mention I'm excited?!?!
Right after that and while I was planning the trip I was chatting on the phone with a friend of mine who happened to be planning her summer music tour in the Netherlands.. well... We came up with a possibility of meeting up before my trip to Italy!!! Shock!! Yup I'm in shock! This trip is an art trip! Music, paintings etc!!
backpack!Â
Art supplies!!Â
What did I pack?
I decided to take just a main backpack on this trip and pack as light as possible! I mean, all I really need is a few changes of clothes and some art supplies!!
Well I will say the backpack is packed so tight but I did it!! Images of course!
- 2 pants, one I'm wearing to travel.
- 11 shirts that includes...3 tank tops
- 1 workout outfit
- Art supplies
- Camera
- Turkey Jerky
- Bathroom Supplies
- 1 Patagonia down jacket
- 3 pair of shoes (2 Sandals, 1 walking tennis)
How can you make this happen?
Same old cliches!! But they are so true!
Follow your life heart! Where do you want To go, or do? Being polite, kind, and helpful are a huge part I think! But that's not to be confused with being overly nice and letting people take advantage.
I have found, it all starts with drops of water! Each drop.. starting with your passion, and it doesn't have to be just one! I have so many things I love to do and they have all helped me keep moving forward in life because I love them! Each passion leads us to paths we may not have found otherwise. Also with the possibility of finding your career! We can always find a way to make them fit if they are true driving forces of who we are. The key is doing it in the moment you feel like it! Get out of your own way. Go with the flow, and be your authentic self! I totally was the mid 30's chicka not knowing how to move forward and was lucky to have heard of "The Artist's Way". I have done it several rounds now and each time something new pushes me forward. Realizing how much I have done. Tho, you only get out of it what you put in.. and it's each of our own unique journeys!!! Anywhoo.... now I'm on my way to the Netherlands and Italy!!!
