​                                 "It is quite true what philosophy says:  that life must be understood backwards.
                                        But then one forgets the other principle:  it must be lived forward."
                                                                                                                               Soren Kierkegaard


This week a friend asked, "How was your week?"  It was at that moment I realized that it has been a really good week.  So often, even when we don't mean to, we forget to stop just long enough to realize that it has been a good day or week and to reflect upon what made it that way.  Living purposely and with intention makes a difference in how we experience our lives. As I was reminded this week, it is so important to do and so easy to forget.  

One of the ways that helps me to begin each week with intention is by finding a positive quote that speaks to me.  I thought the above quote was a perfect reminder that it is important to learn from the past but just as important to take what I learn and bring it with me as I move forward.  There are simple ways to do this.  What works best for me is to set an intention for the week and then an intention for each day that aligns with what I want to accomplish or do.  At the end of the day it always makes a difference if I take time to either mentally, or using my personal Tah Dah list, give myself credit for what I have accomplished.  It also makes a huge difference to remember what I am grateful for each day.  I have come to realize that the things I am most grateful for are the things that should receive the most attention from me.  

What did you learn about yourself last week?  What lessons would you like to bring with you into the next week?  If you set an intention and would like to share, I would love to hear it.

                      When you share your dreams and your talent with world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin!

The ABCs of Living a Creative Life - Zip-a-Dee-Do-Dah

​Zip-a -Dee-Do-Dah
is part of a song that continues on with “It’s a wonderful day.”  When you create the life you want to live there are many Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah days or at the very least moments that you will encounter and remember.  As you begin to become aware of the things that truly make you happy and intentionally include them in your day or plans, life will take on a happier glow.  When you recognize that the process that led you to writing your book or creating a wonderful dinner was just as much fun as the end product you will stop living in the future and begin to enjoy the present more and more. 

Living a creative life is not for the faint of heart.  It means recognizing that there will be ups and downs, changes in plans and disappointments.  It will also mean that self-care and support from others will be more important than ever.  It will mean that you will meet people who don’t understand why you want to leave a perfectly good job to take a chance on a start-up company or to travel with friends.  It will mean that you will have to recognize when you are being your own worst enemy and start to become your own very best friend. 

 It will also mean that you are excited to begin working each day because work has now become play.  It will mean that you will have interesting conversations with people you just met; about things you did not know existed just a few hours before.  It will mean that you notice things that never seemed important before and forget about things that really don’t bring happiness or joy into your world or the world of others.  It will mean you will smile more and because you are smiling so will the people who meet you throughout the day.
​
Creating the life we want to live is a never ending journey.  Times change, we change, the world changes and I have found that it is so much more fun to change with it.  There are always things to learn, people to meet, and places to go. 
I hope that this series has helped you to think about just some of the things that it takes to live a creative life.  For every word or concept I have included, there were hundreds more that were just as important.  Why not start your own ABCs of Living a Creative Life and see where it leads you?  It will be a fun and easy way to find out what is important to you!

              When you share your dreams and your talent with the world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin.

Holiday Intentions

​The holiday season is almost upon us.  Before we know it the food, the parties, the presents, the visits from Santa and relatives will be all that we think about.  Now before the season begins is the perfect time to think about what you really want your holiday season to look and feel like. 

You might be a person who enjoys every minute of the festivities and you don’t want to change a thing. Or like many, you might wish year after year that things could be different.  You longingly picture a quiet home without a lot of frantic running around.  You visualize small intimate gatherings with simple decorations and delicious but light food.  You see yourself relaxing in front of the fireplace reading a book or visiting a museum or gallery with your family. 

The thing that is most important to remember is that you are in charge of your holidays.  You can set an intention to create whatever type of holiday sounds special to you.  If someone asks you to do something, you can take a breath before saying, “Yes” and ask yourself, “Is this in line with my intention?  Will this activity or event add to our holidays or just be something else we have to find the time to do?”  By setting an intention the answer will be easy to find and more important to say. 

So why not take a minute today and set your intention for this holiday season?  Put your intention somewhere where you can see it each and every day.  Then with that intention as your cornerstone begin to create a holiday season that is perfect in every way.

I would love to know what intention you are going to set for this holiday season.

           When you share your dreams and your talent with the world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin!

                                                               Create the life you want to live!
