Awake 2013: Goals Update

Awake is my theme for this year: meaning I want to be more awake literally - doing things that give me energy, and awake figuratively - awake to the needs of my friends, family, and community.

I realized some time last year that my creativity had fallen asleep.  I thought back to what used to make me feel creative, and I remembered long afternoons spent at museums, thinking and writing.  I made a goal to visit one museum a month.  I started in January with the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden.  Modern art is not my thing, but the large scale art and abstract images were just the thing to begin to feel awake.
