I believe that creativity has very little to do with artistic ability and craftiness. Creativity, pure and simple, is the expression of who we are, no matter how that is expressed. We are all creating, all the time; we're usually just not conscious of it. But the more conscious I've become of my own creative acts, the more of them I bring into my life. And the more I bring creativity into my life, the more I express myself. And in expressing myself, I find myself. So creativity, to me, has become a strongly spiritual exercise.
Here are a few things I created this week:
1) This temporary home for my new air plants
...and why am I just finding out about air plants?
3) A digital copy of this picture - because looking at my grandparents in a water gun fight will always bring a smile to my face.
4) The decoration and script on these note cards
5) A swaddle for a fake baby in my newborn care class
6) Shadow puppets, made with a small playmate
7) Scribbles in my daily gratitude journal
“I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.”
