ARTICULATION Hi <<FIRST_NAME_OF_SUBSCRIBER>> ~ Happy early April Fool's Day! *Fools, Not Rules: a mini-article * Far beyond the traditions of playing practical jokes, I do think there's something fun about having a holiday designated for foolishness, don't you? Through the various Artella communities and e-courses, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of creative people and one of the most common blocks that I come across is when people are afraid to look like fools. Afraid to take that risk, go out on that limb, and face the reality of what it means to stand up and be who they really are. So many of society's rules make us so desperately afraid of making mistakes or being criticized or misunderstood that many genius imaginations sit still and do nothing. If this is something that you recognize in yourself, I invite you to spend a bit of time tomorrow musing over what would happen if we could forget the rules...and just BE fools! It's just a fact that life is messy, quirky, colorful, offbeat, abstract, mismatched, irreverent, imperfect, and ridiculously unexpected. When you think about it, the archetype of the Fool is more congruent with the essence of life than the archetype of the Modern Success Story. Why not embrace that Inner Fool and see what he or she is really made of? *How foolish can you GET!* April 1st has another special meaning to me it's the anniversary of the day that I first met my favorite Fool of all, my husband Tony. The Articulation for this week, *Reincarimagination*, is inspired by fools in love, everywhere.
