So often I hear, I’m not creative but yo are, your creativity grows with you!

When you were a child, say age 5 as I was in this picture, you would have exclaimed yes, I am creative, because you knew you could do anything, you could be anything you wanted to be. When I think of myself at age 5 the world was simple, I lived in the present moment and I was comfortable with me in a way I look back on fondly. I could be a pilot, a judge, a queen, or at that time Princess Leia or whatever I wanted to be and my creativity flowed free in the ways I played to emulate those big ideas. When I did art, I did it my way. I bet you did too. Then, we all got older and many factors came into play that better or worse and took us out of our 5 year old zones.

We likely for the next many years detached from our 5 year old principles but don’t worry, they grew with you! Your creativity is yours alone and it didn’t leave you, you just may have forgotten to tune into it.  Now, Take time to color, to Zumba, to play or run the way you did as a child, (as if you’d never run out of breath). Have a little abandon, your creativity has been waiting for you to come out and play. It’s ready to pick up where you left off. You are creative!

P.S. I created CReATE STUDIO when I was the most disconnected from my creativity. You’ve got this.

I love this chair!
As soon as I saw it I  thought wow, this creator sees possibilities everywhere, especially in unlikely things! There was something about it’s simplicity, I imagined that she saw a chair in her mind the minute she found the yellow spools in their bin.

The concept of seeing potential everywhere is what I hope we nurture at CReATE. I know I want my kids to be able to look at traditional limits and roadblocks with a sense that there is a way through them to something that can work, something better.
I want for all of us in the world to be able to see possibilities and potential in our surroundings. That we can nurture the possibilities for positive results in our lives.
We as a world have been facing some really hard things this year. Perhaps seeing a groovy chair in what otherwise seems like the end of the road would do us all a bit of good. After all, the world is how we see it.
