Sunday's Reflections

 I just finished one of those weeks.  One that you are so glad is over. Visits with the doctor, tests, test results, visits with the dentist, income taxes and much much more.  It's what happens in life. It is a time that can, if you let it, make you feel overwhelmed and frustrated. Trips to Facebook didn't help.  Everyone there seemed to be at the beach having a wonderful time. (It's spring break in the south) but what did help was visiting with new and inspiring artists. Reading about their techniques and sharing their excitement reminded me how much writing or painting or taking pictures can chase away those negative feelings that can visit from time to time.

 As a creativity coach, I know that the creative process goes through many cycles.  There are ups and downs. There are times when the ideas flow and times when we feel stuck or blocked.  I know that many of the strategies that I successfully use in the creative process work just as well as I go through life's journey. Knowing that when I meet, either in person or online, new and exciting artists and writers inspires me to create is another tool I will put in my toolbox. Because I also know that once I begin to paint and write everything else seems to fall in place which is a great feeling.

Is there a particular thing that you do to keep the creative process moving forward?  I'd love to know what works for you.

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