Or do we just need to wait (im)patiently for the 2015 schedule? Now that we've retired and settled in Hawaii I finally have the time to get certified!

I have ...Congratulatons on your Zenth anniversary! I have a renewed excitement for this artform. Zentangle took up residence in my soul back in 2001 when I discovered an inner drive to draw in patterns. I called it "flourishing" because I knew no other name to call it. It felt sad to me that this wonderfully rewarding, "pen-to-paper" artistic activity that came from somewhere deep in my soul had no recognizable name. Everyone who saw my creations absolutely loved them but my art somehow felt unrespected and looked upon as "strange" because it didn't have a name! But I was so drawn to this creative outlet that I could, in no way, give it up. I was completely taken with the peacefulness and calm that it created in me….I was obsessed with creating new patterns to incorporate into each new piece. <br /><br />In January, 2014, I was looking at patterns on Etsy, Deviant Art and Youtube and came across a demo being done by Maria and Rick. I felt chills all over my body when I realized you were making these beautiful pieces of art using the exact same patterns that I always thought I had made up. My art finally had a name! When I discovered your newsletters and you explained the Zentangle philosophy, I couldn't believe that someone was finally expressing the exact feelings that I had felt for all those years and that you could put words to them. You gave me the greatest gift that day! I finally found purpose and my drive and obsession were validated! Thank you for that gift! I immediately found Sharla Hicks, CZT, who fit my style and next week I will be completing my 8th class under her instruction. This week I signed up for a calligraphy class as well because I feel so inspired by you, Maria, and the work you do. I am loving every moment of learning and continuing to be validated. I now feel so completely understood and confirmed. I owe it all to your establishment and foundation of this beautiful, peaceful artform. I cannot thank you enough and cannot wait to meet you in Rhode Island.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626003500109873751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924904289842402662.post-27949884200342434942014-07-21T15:09:39.792-04:002014-07-21T15:09:39.792-04:00Zenth Anniversary Haiku

Through it all I have tangled and tangled some more. I have been blessed to dedicate a room in my house for art only. It is the place I go to tangle and recharge to the core. I turn 50 in January an I hope to become a CZT next summer! I don't know how I could have survived without tangling!
