Hi, Creative Friends,

Summer is a great time to get outside and see the world around us. It can feel like summer is calling us to see more, do more, and be more in nature. That’s why…

This week, here is how to get out and enjoy summer with these 3 creative ideas…

Go Outside And See The Story In Nature: Trees are all around us and if you are a bit like me, thinking about the story of trees is not something that we think about when we are walking around our neighborhood. This is where the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “Overstory” by Richard Powers becomes powerful. It’s an excellent read and fascinating in its perspective about humans as they relate to the natural world.
Adventure Journal: Here is a sweet DIY project to help us get out and enjoy summer: The Adventure Journal from REI. Download and print your FREE Journal REI adventure journal here and go answer summer’s callings and explore the great outdoors.
Paint & Send A Greeting: When was the last time we paused to take in nature? The colors, the scent, and the sounds nature creates are incredible! Sit quietly in a garden or park and then paint or draw something inspiring. Try creating a special greeting card for a friend on a postcard. Send your card out into the world to inspire a friend to get out and enjoy summertime too!

Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on or how you answering the call of summer.
