Beth's Ponderings

   Here we are again, at the beginning of a brand new year - a year full of so much possibility and potential. 

  Now, there are some people who will tell you that you need to fill up your calendar at the beginning of the year with tasks and activities throughout the months so you don’t end up looking back in December to find you wasted the year. 

   While that might work for some people, I, personally, prefer an open calendar that gets filled in the moment, and still has space for breathing.

   That said, I do have some items on my January calendar already.  The 7-week voice/singing/songwriting program starts January 20th, and...it’s finally here!!!  My art exhibition - Persistent Creativity Everyday: a whimsical journey - will be at the Corridor Community Gallery, in the lower level of the Recreation Centre, 4501-47A Ave., in Red Deer, from January 11 to February 28!!!! More information (after January 10th)  here: https://www.reddeer.ca/recreation-and-culture/arts-and-culture/artgalleries/current-exhibits/ and here: www.reddeerevents.ca/ This is a very exciting month for me, and I’ll have more to share next issue.
