There is a malarkey deficit going on in the world. Can you feel it? An empty space needing a fit of laughter, a good guffaw and a heart-felt chuckle. When I read Fezzik's line "anybody want a peanut?" I just can't help but giggle. So ridiculous! And absolutely perfect. Yesterday was a magic mojo-filled gathering of fun-seeking creatives during the" Rebel Doodlers - Happy Pelicans" workshop. We came, we created, we laughed, and then disbursed, taking our groovy good vibes out into the world. I like thinking of all these outrageous birds flying about the world now spreading malarkey. Is there a malarkey ambassadorship? What is truly astounding and uplifting to me is that each of these humans set aside a time to play. How often do we do that? Such an act of true love for self and for the inner child in each of us. A little valentine.

First of all Princess Bride!!! An all time fav! I try to make play a part of my regular routine. Yesterday I played during my 30/30 painting and got lost in the fun making. Sometimes just playing is the key to my creativity.

Play? Did you say, Play? Why, whoever doesn't find the time to play at something? Teaching the art class was great fun on Wednesday, the prep is work - but helping people de-stress and let go - perfect JOY! Then there is this thing called a 30 day Challenge - got me playing with my paints and I love it! :)
