I have a dream of creating a place that's peaceful and beautiful where artists, particularly quilt artists, can come and create beautiful things. It's been brewing around in my head now for a while. I thought it might be fun to document my thoughts and the process that may lead to the manifestation of this Retreat. I don't know what will really unfold, but since my blog title is Life By My Design, I thought it might be fun to witness the design process of this particular vision.
So, the big vision is a place surrounded with the natural elements that make New Mexico unique. I want this to be fairly close to where I live, so the pinion-juniper high desert is what it will look like. A big studio space, a great kitchen, rooms for overnights, and a fireplace to cozy up around - essential. Lovely views and peace and quiet - also essential.
Two major inspirations for this dream are: Busting Loose from the Business Game, by Robert Scheinfeld, and Mike Dooley's cd set, Leveraging the Universe and Engaging the Magic. I HIGHLY recommend both of these resources. They have changed my life. (Hmmm, if I was a little more tech savvy, I'd make those into links. Gotta figure out how to do that...)
That's it for now. Next, step, looking for land...
