The ABCs of Living a Creative Life - Unique

I really love this week's letter -  U - because it stands for something so important.  Unique!  We are all unique and different and special and talented.  Many years ago I was lucky enough to teach children that were identified as gifted and talented. The only thing that bothered me was that I knew that each and every child in the school was gifted and talented and deserved to be taught the same things that I was teaching the students in my class.  So I did my best to share with each person who entered the school my philosophy that we are all special with unique gifts and talents.  I was lucky enough to work with teachers who also saw each child as unique and who welcomed me into their classrooms to share what I had learned with their students. 

I carry this philosophy into this phase of my life.  As I meet people who are embracing and developing the creative side of their life, I encourage them to acknowledge and celebrate their uniqueness. So many times people have an idea but say that it has been done before.  And my standard answer is, "But not by you."  We all bring into our projects our experiences, our perspectives and our knowledge which is different from anyone else's. It's the colors we use on our paintings, the words we choose for our stories, the way we position a chair in the room or the food we decide to serve together that can turn something from ordinary to unique and different.

So I encourage you to celebrate what you do!  Honor who you are and the work that you do.  We are all unique.  We are all different and that is what makes our world so special.

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


                                                        Create the life you want to live.

Ginny I love this highly unique painting! I agree with you wholeheartedly and that's why I named my daughter Pepper...she is a one of a kind! There were a group of six graders that went camping while they were sleeping I wrote in felt on a piece of paper all the wonderful unique things about each of them and posted to their beds. When they awoke and read it their eyes twinkled... it is so important that kids know their true beauty and uniqueness!! All those girls are amazing women now!

Ginny I really like this piece of art. The black showing pops the other colors. I also love your answer, "But not by you" I will remember that.
Have a great day

Beautiful Fall painting and wonderful sentiments!! I agree, I do value very similar things! I may have neglected one to value the other more! I may need to rectify that!! Thanks for the reminder!
