I love the idea of an inner superhero - and love how identifying your inner superhero becomes a tool for figuring out steps you can take to make your life more fulfilling. Before I read The Artist's Way there was this gaping void between my inner and outer selves...I think bringing these two selves into balance is a life's work. All we can do is try. FYI, this site lets you create an entry in an interactive yearbook, and part of creating your entry is choosing a superpower :) http://www.pbs.org/americanhigh/yearbook/ I just blogged about The Artist’s Way (for the upteenth time) over at my blog, Creative DC, and included your collage and a snippet of your post:

I suppose my inner hero is much like yours...mine is fearless of bridges over water, not afraid of heights and able to comprehend computer programs. Ha! Has clarity in thought and refuses to fuss with the inner critic. My day goes by so quickly and always prepared to tackle the items on my list and at the end of the day none or maybe some are accomplished. But that all changes with the little things like hugs from my children or simple as a kiss on my forehead from my DH. It's those little things that make my day count and worry less about things that went unfinished. Your art is just as amazing! Love it! I will definately be back to visit and devour more of your writing and art! :) Nancy Wonderful writing…reading your posts is like sitting down with a good book!

I love your writing... this is beautiful! I hope you don't mind, I thought it was a fun writing exercise (though I am not really a writer), and I decided to respond to your question of "what is your inner superhero like?" here: http://adventure-girl.livejournal.com/111697.html Loving your writing and your art, as always!

What technique did you use to do the photo transfer over your painting? I would dearly love to know! :-) Thank you! Gorgeous collages!

She conquers her fears of riding ski lifts and meeting new people and driving in Europe. She practices new languages, even though she might get the words wrong. She tries to get published, even though she might end up rejected. She jumps into each new day with hope, even though breakfast might burn and her hair might not cooperate and the baby will most definitely throw up all over the clean laundry. Thanks for posting this question. Visualizing my fantastic "secret identity" reminds me of when I was a little girl, pretending to be an actress so that the morning oatmeal (ugh!) could seem glamorous. It gave me a kind of rush then as it does now -- the idea that there's an undiscovered part of me that makes me... epic. I hope that makes sense. :) And who knows -- maybe 2008 will be a year for superhero sightings! My inner superhero is brave, with that cocky confidence we love to see in movie heros.
