the decluttered creative: BRILLIANT BITS: insights from the DeClutter Your Creativity Group
http://declutteredcreative.blogspot.com/2011/02/brilliant-bits-insights-from-declutter.html
Friday, February 18, 2011. BRILLIANT BITS: insights from the DeClutter Your Creativity Group. The monthly Bookstrategy DeClutter Your Creativity. Group is a part of my life I've come to enjoy deeply- a chance to dialogue with other creative women about the challenges and opportunities that affect us all. Two comments offered in the course of Tuesday's discussion stood out for me as especially valuable. The first was to live in your truth. If so, it is a great place to start decluttering. We might think t...

the decluttered creative: TELL THE TRUTH: don't we all love clutter?
http://declutteredcreative.blogspot.com/2011/03/tell-truth-dont-we-all-love-clutter.html
Thursday, March 17, 2011. TELL THE TRUTH: don't we all love clutter? My last few posts have been musing on the invisible phases of creativity, the times when we are consciously or unconsciously doing deep inner work even though we seem quiet or even dormant superficially. During these fallow off-seasons, we have to do some very hard work. And the hardest work of all, maybe, is not doing the wrong work. Or maybe that's just me. Either way, I see a lot of that kind of that "busywork" as I look back on ...

the decluttered creative: UNDERGROUND: the fertility of deep withdrawal
http://declutteredcreative.blogspot.com/2011/03/underground-fertility-of-deep.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. UNDERGROUND: the fertility of deep withdrawal. I love blogging, as I was reminded when I worked to prep my Saturday Blogging the Arts class at the Vero Beach Museum of Art. I love the writing and the thinking, the connecting and the sharing, the fresh perspectives and the plethora of facets. Yet I've been entirely silent this past month, at least in my little personal blogosphere. There are times —. Many times —. But at that time of planting, the eventual appearance of flowers se...

the decluttered creative: CLUTTER UP YOUR CREATIVITY: cravable stuff we TOTALLY don't need
http://declutteredcreative.blogspot.com/2011/01/clutter-up-your-creativity-cravable.html
Friday, January 7, 2011. CLUTTER UP YOUR CREATIVITY: cravable stuff we TOTALLY don't need. A visit to the Nanda Home. Website inspired this first in a new category of posts on this blog that will acknowledge stuff that is totally and utterly unnecessary, and yet somehow work celebrating. I have long craved a Clocky. The alarm clock on wheels that jumps off your nighttable and runs around your room beeping if you hit "snooze" too often. Clocky was invented by Gauri Nanda. Posted by Suzanne Fox. 365 Days o...

the decluttered creative: CULLING MY BOOKS: on reading, reveling, and releasing
http://declutteredcreative.blogspot.com/2011/01/culling-my-books-on-reading-reveling.html
Wednesday, January 5, 2011. CULLING MY BOOKS: on reading, reveling, and releasing. Part of my silent time over the past two months has been occupied with the process of sorting through my possessions. "Sorting through" sounds simple and rather serene, but in reality the process is tedious and messy. I gave away or otherwise disposed of the stuff that was easy years ago. What is left is there for a reason. Usually, even, a good one. Still, something in my soul said that it was time for much of it to go.

Monday, January 10, 2011. THE STUFF WE LEAVE BEHIND: "Important Artifacts" by Leanne Shapton. Is not officially about decluttering, but it's still of interest to those of us striving to release all that no longer works from our lives. It's also a wonderful work of creative imagination.

the decluttered creative: DECLUTTERING OUR MONEY: have you made a home for yours?
http://declutteredcreative.blogspot.com/2011/02/decluttering-our-money-have-you-made.html
Wednesday, February 2, 2011. DECLUTTERING OUR MONEY: have you made a home for yours? As I began to look at the way money "clutter" affects my creativity, I immediately discovered something interesting. If I begrudge my money a couple of square feet and a little organization, can I really complain if it doesn't work for me with optimal results? I've gathered envelopes, stamps, pens I like, a letter opener, a scissors. I've dedicated a simple monthly planner to recording what bills are due, when they'r...

the decluttered creative: DECLUTTERING OUR MONEY: a first step
http://declutteredcreative.blogspot.com/2011/01/decluttering-our-money-first-step.html
Thursday, January 13, 2011. DECLUTTERING OUR MONEY: a first step. This month, my Vero Beach DeClutter Your Creativity Group will begin exploring the issue of money as it creates physical and emotional clutter and/or impedes our creativity. I'm excited to begin addressing an issue that affects almost all of us "creatives," yet is relatively rarely talked about in searching ways. In conjunction with the Group meetings, I'll be posting some thoughts on these issues here on this blog. Posted by Suzanne Fox.

the decluttered creative: DON'T LOOK NOW: I'm writing
http://declutteredcreative.blogspot.com/2011/04/dont-look-now-im-writing.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. DON'T LOOK NOW: I'm writing. You might have noticed that I haven't been posting on my blogs lately. For the first time in several years, I've been writing. Writing regularly. Writing productively. Writing. Or at least things that vaguely look like books, and will look more like books, I hope, as the year goes on. I didn't post this earlier for two reasons. Look at the gap between the date of this post and the date of my last one and you'll see how well. Posted by Suzanne Fox.
