I am writing this while on duty at our local pool, don't panic, I'm not a lifeguard, just overseeing the office! Straight to the point, enough of this waffle, if you're reading this you may be short of time and I have a very important message to tell you! It's this....STOP IT, STOP IT right now! Stop beating yourself up about not having enough time recently to scrap all those photos, stop beating yourself up for buying that birthday card recently, just stop it! Yes, sometimes daily life gets in the way of our creative urges and during the past 8 weeks, with 2 storms, several meetings and other booked committments, creativity has simply been put on the back burner, in the back room, way down the corridor of life in the back of the house. Recently after several vicious eposides of berating myself for not having time or energy to do something creative, and that despite not being seen to be in a creative form, ie; sitting somewhere scrapping, that creativity takes many forms everyday - simple stuff, like choosing what to wear, adding a brooch or scarf, leaving notes for your kids with doodles on, cooking a meal for the family, when you sort and clean a room and set it out the way you want.
So, creativity can be in the little things, you may not have time to scrap those recent photos from the Mum/daughter weekend away, but you can choose a funky brooch to wear so that each time you look at it, you get a warm creative fuzzy!
Happy creativity!
