today: NEW YEAR'S WISHES
plus EXPLORATION OF WHAT IT MEANS, TO BE AT HOME

Elsa's Creativity Space - Update
   Hello again,    

All the best for the New Year - ever more happiness, contentment, love, success, achievement, creativity - whatever your heart desires.

Is there something you might enjoy looking at during the holiday season?

****

If there are children or preteens around, they might like The Flluffers Book: Caro Carolina, Geela Gribbs and Fluffers the Invisible Dog. Friendship, mystery, and questions about reality. They can both read and listen. Here it is - The Fluffers Book.

The other thing that comes to mind is an exploration of what it means, to be at home. The holiday season - we're supposed to be enjoying home and family, feeling good being with each other. At home. Home-coming. Home-making.

When I started exploring being at home, this is some of what I came up with - a bit more complex.

I learned something interesting when I tried to make my exploration visible on the web. Very few people search for home, except for home and garden, or home improvement. So the part on home is the least viewed part of the site.

How to get it found? I've looked for what words might bring people to the pages. Some people (still very few) search for their roots - but that need not mean home to us. The best so far is belonging needs, belonging feeling. My impression is that most people just don't think of Googling on the meaning of home.

If you're interested, here you'll find:

- a photo of the place I call home, along with what home means to lots of people.

- and In My Own, My Chosen Home, the spoken word piece that sparked the whole exploration of home.

****

And now, Season's Greetings,

Plus best best wishes for a Wonderful New Year filled with all the good things you wish for,

Elsa

New! Elsas Creativity Space Update sends
Holiday Greetings.

belonging feeling, home to my roots.

Elsas Creativity Space,
an all-round creativity site

Elsas Creativity Space.

Elsas creativity space is
Elsas creativity emporium is
Elsas creativity place

Gertrude Stein said, almost a century ago, a rose is a rose is a rose.

Much easier to say that, than to say
Elsas creativity space is
Elsas creativity space.

But just as a rose is a rose is a rose,
Elsas creativity space is
Elsas creativity space.

One could even go on to say that
a rose is a rose by any other name.

Likewise, one could hold that
Elsas creativity space is
Elsas creativity place
by any other name.

And many humans might not even notice
if I wrote
Elsas creativity place
or
Elsas creativity site.

Most humans would just register that it's
Elsas creativity something or other.

And it is.
But there's more.

The name is a signal.

This is
Elsas creativity place
Elsas creativity space.

i am not calling mayday. This is not a distress signal.

It's a hello signal, come see me, notice me.

Hello,
it's Elsas creativity space
Elsas creativity place
calling all search engines
to find me on my island
deserted but fertile
enchanted but isolated
creative and creating but too too alone.

Who will help me through my dark?
Who will help me make my mark?
Who will help me build my ark?
I cannot do it alone.

I'm calling to people
but strangely it's not people
I am turning to for help.

It's the web
the world wide web.

I'm calling hoping the web will hear that
Elsas creativity place
Elsas creativity space
is calling, calling, calling with longing and hope.

signed,

Elsa
