Good sites for creative expression

[Charley123]

Even if what you are going through health-wise isn’t considered a ‘disability’...as far  as I can see, anything that limits what we once did, changes our life so dramatically that we need tons of encouragement to accept the changes and at the same time keep connected to our core, creative selves.  I find, among other things, that sites like these help me to stay focused on what I can do and not what is now missing from my life.  Hope they help you too.  Hugs, Charley.

"We recognize the right of each person to experience the full extent of their capabilities and limitations, at the inner core of their humanity."
"We believe that the story of the independent living movement and the stories of artists with disabilities need to be told."
"We go through the world with identities that others attach to us, while the arts allow us to define ourselves."

I will post it on the other site.  Thanks.  I know what you mean about needing inspiration.  When I see what other people do to keep strong in their lives, it helps me to get out of my own despair.  Hugs Charley

that's a good idea, and if you do that on the forum, please be sure to mention this group too!  I think its time to invite everyone again to come on over and check it out.  

I'm  going to check out the websites for some inspiration --- I could use some these days.

thanks,

I'm checking these out shortly but wanted to ask if you have you posted this to the forum as a whole yet - there are artists like Alex out there who may not see it here.
