Creativity and Creative Living
Creativity Is A Medicine For The Soul
Short reflections on a creative life
Creativity is a way for us to allow our hearts to dance. In our pursuits, we get to explore, learn, grow and maybe heal. Being creative opens up portals within us, that the world sometimes wants to keep locked.
It’s about beauty.
Being creative allows my life to be more beautiful. It acts as a sweet relief from everyday stresses and gives me an avenue for daily play.
With my creative pursuits, I step into a child-like realm, where once again I’m steeped in awe and wonder. Because adulting can be ever exhausting. Trying to look “mature and like I have my life together is a constant drain. With my creativity I can relax my mind, and step into a softer, more beautiful life.
