Today, I decided to issue a demand on everyone I communicate with:  MAKE SOMETHING.

In the next 12 months, create 20 -32 pages of printed material (OR MORE) and publish it as a work.  If that doesn’t work for you, Make 12 T shirt designs or 12 coffee cup designs. 

CREATE.

If you are feeling bereft of a connection to the Universe, nurture and coax something out of your mind and offer it up for others to enjoy.  If you feel like there’s nothing out there that fits what you are looking for, make it.  Have fun doing it, make it a silly project, make a serious project, JUST MAKE.

CONNECT.

You may ask, “But Hank, I would need a Publisher or a contact to do this.  I am not good enough to get someone to pay me up front for my work.”  Nonsense.  Here are several ways to get your creation out there.  (There are MANY MANY MORE as well.)

If you are wondering if it takes tons of skill to make your own book, let Ariana straighten you out.

This is about YOU making things and putting them out there for people you know (and don’t know yet,) and participating in HOLY ACT OF CREATION.
