Today is the day we pause to give thanks for all that we have; family, friends, health, meaningful work, and human connections. We here at Your Creative Connection are thankful for the past year, which was one of success, exploration, disappointment, and a renewed commitment to our goal of presenting unique, woman-centered, creative experiences to the world.

“Expectation has brought me disappointment.
Disappointment has brought me wisdom.
Acceptance, gratitude and appreciation have brought me joy and fulfilment.”
― Rasheed Ogunlaru

As we contemplated our next ventures, we used the experiences of the past and lessons learned to inform our plans. Secure in the knowledge that what we have to offer is valuable, we are grateful to the women who have supported our vision thus far. As we transition to our next endeavor, we appreciate all we’ve learned, and forge ahead in the direction of joy and fulfilment; not just for ourselves, but for everyone we encounter along this journey.

As we launch our newest venture: “Seaside Sessions,” we hope that you will join us during one of these intimate, curated gatherings of creative exploration by the sea. Full details will be forthcoming soon, so be sure that you are ‘in the know’ by becoming a newsletter subscriber.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and may acceptance, gratitude and appreciation bring you sustained joy and fulfilment.

Until next time,

MDP

We thank YOU, our loyal readers for your comments, your ideas, and your support of our mission, which is to bring you unique events designed to increase your creativity and connection. The year since we last wrote our Thankful Thursday posts on Thanksgiving Day has been one of excitement, exploration, discovery, disappointment, and ultimately, a strengthening of our resolve to continue on this path. We strongly believe in what we’re doing and presenting to the world, we are thankful that we get to do something we dearly love, and we are grateful that we get to share it with you, our Creative Explorers.

On this day of Thanksgiving, we also want to let you know that we are grateful to be listening to and learning from you. Our latest endeavor, “Art in the Parks,” which will begin on Sunday, December 9th has been designed with you in mind. This monthly series of mixed media events will be full of useful information about new techniques, there will be many opportunities to express your unique creativity, and we’ll show you new ways to use ‘old’ favorite art supplies. We are eager to have you join us for one or more of our events through April of 2019 and beyond (more about the ‘beyond’ in a later blog post, so stay tuned.

Wishing you and yours the happiest of Thanksgivings,

Michelle and Penny
