Awaken The Artist Art & Coloring Challenge – Day 2/21
Today I drew a Whimsical Tree on my Facebook personal profile page. The first video stopped in the middle (silly Facebook!) so I picked it up again on a 2nd video there. After that I did a bit more detail work on Periscope.
I am using this 21 day art challenge to experiment with more than one social media platform and get a better idea where and how to spend my time.
Sometimes I draw and talk and other times I speak only as I also have various processes and knowledge from my journey to share with people who are ready to get unstuck creatively speaking and make art for personal and professional reasons.

Awaken The Artist Art & Coloring Challenge – Day 1/21
Welcome to the Awaken The Artist 21 Day Art and Coloring Challenge.
Today is Day 1 and so far I’m having fun livestreaming from various social media platforms including my Facebook personal profile, Awaken The Artist business page, Awaken The Artist Art & Coloring Group (request to join), Periscope (wendygyoung) and Instagram (wendygyoung).
I am posting my daily livestreaming links on this blog so you will be able to see all the art I create for the challenge. To view the videos on these platforms it might be necessary to like or follow my pages and profiles. The links will remain visible until the end of September for sure to provide inspiration for your creative journey.
So if you feel the urge to create art and feel stuck in some way this is a great opportunity to jump in and get your creativity flowing again. I expect to be personally transformed in this process and if you jump in and really participate I expect the same for you as well.
So without further adieu here are all the links to Day 1 …
This is my first video on my artist page where I am announcing the challenge
I also created an Instagram Intro about who I am and what I’m doing here.
Okay this has nothing at all to do with the challenge however I was feeling silly and courageous after making it through the first day and wanted to test out the Instagram Boomerang ap with my sweet dog Simba 🙂
DRAWING VIDEO 1 (Facebook)
I created this drawing using a pencil and a small canvas so I could complete it in one session. I am planning to paint it in another video session. Here is a photo of the completed drawing 1: 
DRAWING VIDEO 2 (Periscope)

Awaken The Artist 21 Day Art & Coloring Challenge
I know. It has been a long time since you heard from me.
All that family stuff made it so challenging for me to stay focused on my lifetime dream of ART creation. Plus my three decades of entrepreneurship was on hold so that I could tend to the needs of my mom.
Well, four months ago I moved my mom into memory care and she is doing well. I liquidated the contents of her house, helped get it sold and then took some time for rest while visiting my mom and squeaking in some time to make art.
Now I have time and energy to pick up where I left off and move forward with my personal and business life.
Tomorrow, September 1, 2016 I am launching my Awaken The Artist 21 Day Art & Coloring Challenge. I’m keeping it real simple.
If you want to keep up with everything in one place you can “like” my Awaken The Artist Facebook Page.
You can also sign up for the challenge and receive tips and stories to help you create. I will also share some of my coloring book pages so you can color along with me.
Divine Inspiration, this blog and me
I began this blog in December of 2008 about the time I was getting ready to create my Spiritual Grid Manifestation DVD and as much as I wanted to write more often I did not. As I reflect I realize that there was so much that I was not clear about at that time.
That is one of the gifts of time. It gives us great perspective.
As I have been shifting gears in how I help people shift into who they came here to be I am making a commitment to write more often here on this blog and in other ways.
I’ll be speaking about what I know best … Divine Inspiration.
Some of you may relate more if I tell you that connecting to your Divine Inspiration is about connecting to your Creativity!!
Creativity is what we are here for. We are each creating our lives in each and every moment whether we are aware of it or not!
Sometimes I will be sharing a story about something or someone that inspired me and how and why.
Other times I may tell you about an experience that I had during that day that is related to inspiration.
What I really look forward to sharing with you is how I live in my inspiration on a moment to moment basis just about everyday.
It could be about my spontaneous decision to take a walk, buy a cup of coffee at Whole Foods or scale a building … LOL …last night a friend of mine told me about the famous French Spiderman whom he met in person once!
You never know who you are going to see or what you are going to learn and how this will change your life or someone else’s life for the better.
I am ready to really stand for myself in what I came here to do. It has been a very long journey and I know there is so much more for me to learn and I look forward to learning with you.
If you like what I write and if it inspires you in anyway I would like to know. This further inspires me.
It has taken me a long time to align myself and my work with my true core gift … this ability to connect with this deeper part of me and live in inspiration.
You can live in inspiration too. As I look back to my childhood … that is decades! … I can see that I was always connected to this deeper part of myself and it is something that I have learned to develop over my lifetime.
This occurred with the practice of being in business and creating a multitude of tangible products and services. Sometimes they worked out really well and other times I fell flat on my you know what!
I learned from each of these experiences all in the expectation that I would serve others in the area of personal growth.
So I continue that now by helping to open you to your divine inspiration so that you may continue to create your life consciously whether you want to expand your business, change your career or job or want to be happier.
Maybe you just want to have more fun and more time to play! I know I do!
Let’s do it together!
Divine Inspiration is my passion. How can I serve you?
To Your Divine Inspiration!
Wendy
