And So It Begins!

The one, the only, Manya Vee Selects blog!  We invite you to post comments and thoughts on our posts as often as possible!  We'd love to have a conversation with you in this way.  We can talk about art, creativity, beauty, and how those things affect our daily lives.

I'm sure you all know by now that for me, incorporating art into every aspect of your life is a very powerful thing.  Eating your breakfast out of a hand-painted Fiala bowl instead of Corelle gets you ready for the day like nothing else.  Especially if you use a beaded spoon as a vehicle!

Wear it. Dine on it. Burn it. Burn things in it.  Put flowers in it.  Look at it.  Look at yourself in it. Eat it. Smell it.  And that's just the beginning.  For some reason, so many of us struggle with feeling like we somehow don't deserve to use special things.  Maybe that Puritan streak hasn't gone out of our systems yet.  But just let your mind wander a bit to consider how much more alive you'd feel if you actually allowed those things.  Surrounding yourself with joyfully created art that you can use makes that joy come alive in you as well, and may even ignite your own fires of creativity if you're not careful!

Let's hear how you incorporate art into your everyday life!
