What are your goals for this New Year? Improve your skills as an artist? How about improve your health? How about doing them both together?<\/p>\n

I think we can all agree that good health certainly helps us in creating art. It’s hard to create when we don’t feel good. So, our friends over at Crafty Link<\/a> (same gals that run Polymer Clay Productions<\/a>) decided to help artists get healthier. They have a 12 week course titled The Art of Healthy Living<\/a>\u00a0that is “designed to teach real-world, healthy lifestyle choices while using art as a means to work through the thoughts and emotions that accompany weight loss.” Sounds rather intriguing.<\/p>\n

I do have a few holiday pounds to lose myself. I am also working on reducing stress and having more time to laugh …<\/p>\n
