As part of my Catalyst Newsletter I offer creative exercises and share resources that will give you pleasure and stimulate your own creative process.  I was recently sent a stunning compilation of various artists around the world that gave me such pleasure that I want to pass it on. 

If you have ever done The ARtist’s Way by Julia Scott Cameron you will known that in this year long course of creative exploration she advocates the weekly Artist’s Date where you just spend time doing something that adds to your creative process.   Well, here is a stunning no-cost and no-effort brilliant Artist’s Date that you can enjoy by visiting http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2539741 and enjoying a great song and great musicians

The song is that classic standard “Stand By Me” that was originally released in 1955 by The Staple Singers and covered in 1961 by the Drifters so turn up the sound and prepare to have fun.   

Oh, and the creative exercise part of this is where you write about a character who is willing to do that standing by, or tell the true story of someone who has stood by you – or that you have done that for.

Let me know what it brings to mind for you, and if you want more personal development and creative news then sign up for my weekly email catalyst newsletter at www.catalystonline.co.uk
