I've been craving a creative outlet. I'm not an artistic person, though I like to write. Words help me find meaning. They help me solve problems and understand my life and world. I want to experiment with using writing in a more intentional way as a spiritual discipline...something beyond journaling. I want to use writing as a way to help me pay attention, to notice people and things in the world around me.
The idea for this blog came from looking at a few of the Project365 blogs that were started earlier this month on which people post a picture a day. I like that idea, but I've tweaked it to work better for me. I'm going to post word pictures everyday instead. And at the end of the year, I can look back to see how my ability to be in the moment, to notice the world around me, has changed.
Would anyone else like to join me?

Daily descriptions of things in my world
About Graffiti365
I blog elsewhere about everything under the sun. On this blog, I am using the space as a daily discipline to notice, truly notice things in the world around me. Each day, I will choose something I've seen and attempt to put it into words. It is my hope that the practice will teach me to be more in the moment, to pay attention. Who knows? I might even be a better writer at the end of a year.

WooHoo! Someone's playing!
I'm playing, too, but do I really need another blog for it?
I love this idea. I'd like to join you (I am a writer, too) but am a little late in the game.
