It’s Friday, and it is cool and misty here on the coast. Wish I could spend more time outside though, but I’m trying to fit 5 days worth of work into one morning. Does this sound like you? It seems like there is so much to do with so little time. Somehow, in the recesses of my unconscious mind, a thought from last month bubbles up. I’m reminded of a program I gave entitled “Creativity & Well-being.” One of the participants was enthralled about what she learned. She exclaimed, “I always thought being creative had to do with being an artist! I never knew it had to do with joy of being.”

Having the opportunity to write you in this blog, gives me the gift of reflection. Even in my busy day I’m taking a moment and remembering that particular workshop and that colorful room filled with feisty, opinionated, single mothers. My shoulders relax, I smile as I reminisce about their happy, glowing faces at the end of the program.

Creativity and wellness message: Be in the moment of your own life. Take a breather and let a pleasant memory surface, let it fill your senses. Creativity=joy of being.
