reminders and listening...for the new year

Today is New Year's Day. Happy New Year! Here is a picture of my popular  reminder stones . The pile below includes the racial justice stones I make to remind me of my commitment to show up for change , a wish for equality , that I will act for change, and hope to inspire others to act too.  There is also a BKAG stone in that pile for Boston Knapsack Anti-Racism Group that I am a part of, and peace signs. My sister told me about this Chinese character today: listen . It comes from the 5 other words/characters shown in the image below. It is a good reminder about what it takes to truly listen, including undivided attention and you,  a good reminder for all interactions when we want to learn and grow. What do you want to remind yourself to do this coming year?

New stuff happening in the new year! I will be making posts of exciting things going on in the studio and related to the pottery classes. I hope you get some joy from this. I added new students working, and some finished pottery and testimonials to my website . Where does this blog title come from? I made it up! mud-i-vate : verb : to motivate others to be creative with clay past tense example : My students mudivated me too! adjective : - a person can be mudivated (inspired to create with clay) - clay can be mudivated (transformed into something unique and special) - pottery classes can be mudivational (inspiring) My website is  dagworks.com . Enjoy!
