It’s time for another Inspire Me Friday post!
I have been having so much fun sharing these interviews for Inspire Me Friday. It’s been a blast having my friends share their areas of expertise on my blog and I love that I can give my readers little gifts of inspiration that have helped me so much. I originally only planned to to this series through the end of the year, but I’m thinking I may keep it going a bit longer. What do you think?
Today I’m sharing an interview with my friend Desiree East who is an artist and Creativity Coach. I took a class from Desiree this summer when I was suffering from so much pain with my bulging disk issues. Today I’m having Desiree share a little bit about her creative process and how drawing mandalas have been a source of inspiration to her even when she didn’t realize that she was drawing them.
From my experience in Desiree’s work shop I can honestly say that I was able to completely lose myself in the creative process and was able to forget my pain while I was engaged in creating mandalas. As an artist myself I admit that I had completely forgotten how soothing the creative process can be. I was too lost in all the pain. This workshop was such a gift! And it helped me to remember this:
The creative process is a meditation where miracles can occur.
Through mysterious powers of technology Desiree’s interview was partially cut off and is in 2 parts. The first part is the MP3 which you can access here:
Here’s part 2 of the interview:
Weekend challenge:
Find some sort of creative process that you can completely lose yourself in for at least an hour. Notice how you feel afterwards.
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the lovely interview, Rhonda! I am so happy to hear that this process helps relieve your back pain…it’s amazing what a little meditation can do – it truly is a wonderful vehicle for healing. Thank you for being part of the summer session and traveling around with your canvas – you are an artist at heart!! xoxo
Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents Desiree!
Great interview! I love Desiree’s work and the way it relates to every day life and even to those of us who don’t identify as artists. Thank you.
Glad you like the interview Lorna. Desiree is awesome!
