About Me

What started out as one day a week, Thursdays, set aside to be a bit more creative while working a 9 to 5 job....Creative Thursday, has become a full time business featuring the art of Marisa Haedike, or as I like to call it a dream come true.

That's my favorite "little" bio. I've written so many over the years and the one above seems to continuously be the best "all around" one of what Creative Thursday embodies.

So this brings you to my blog. I started my blog four years ago now, with a move to Typepad in August 2008. I started a blog because I was advised that "every business should have a blog". At the same time I also became inspired to participate in the online daily painter's movement. And to be a daily painter online it is helpful to have a blog to post your paintings to. I thought "perfect, I need a blog!"

But over the last four years this blog has become so much more than a place to post my paintings. It has become my personal chronicle of the best parts of my life. It has become a place where I turn to to remind myself of all that is good in my life. And occasionally through some posts and most definitely my podcasts, you can follow along on the journey with me as I share my thoughts on appreciating and understanding life, and especially the creative life.

Otherwise, this blog is the home to my many creations and the joy that I want to share and pass on to you. I thank each and every one of you for visiting and for so many of you who take the time to comment, I love hearing from you!

While I still tend to agonize far too long over the writing of most of my posts and podcasts that I hit "publish" on. And while I often still feel like I'm searching for my authentic voice in the blogging world ~ For now I honestly LOVE blogging and had no idea it would mean so much. My hope is that for everyone who visits here that you leave feeling a little more joy, than you did when you arrived.
