Sunshine in a Jar

“Creativity is the life force that Dylan Thomas called ‘the force that through the green fuse drives the flower.’” –Julia Cameron

People often ask me “why sunshine in a jar?” I love the idea of collecting things in jars.  Generally speaking I’m not much of a collector when it comes to coins, dolls, stamps, or other tangible items. I prefer to think about how I might collect the intangible: sunshine, imagination, ideas, wind, a song, passion, or feeling. 

But more than that, I love the way the phrase “sunshine in a jar” makes me feel:  inspired, bright, energized, and passionate.  At any moment the lid could come off so the sunshine can spread warmth and love to all in its reach.

This site is my sunshine in a jar. It’s what I’m up to, thinking about, figuring out, working toward and dreaming of.  It’s a small collection of my imagination, writing, and projects.  It’s where my energy is.  Thanks for visiting. Feel free to comment.
