That is a rather loaded question to consider, isn't it? Well, as I ask myself this question on a
daily basis in some fashion or another, I always find myself standing in front
of the word, creativity.
I have decided to live my life creatively. My purpose in life is to somehow, someway to
help others do so as well.
I parent
creatively.
I work creatively.
I love creatively.
But how does a gal find ways to unlock all that
potential? I take walks. Yup - yet another post about walking.
I am not a runner. I
tried that form of movement three and half times over the years and I embraced
the reality it just isn't my thing. I am
too busy thinking about how hard it is to breathe and how my legs ache. Instead, I walk and look up and down and all
around. It is amazing what I discover
and where that then leads me down my own creative path.
Just today, I checked off an item on my 101 Things to Do
List: a stroll around the Irvington Neighborhood.
I grabbed my foamy latte from my favorite coffee place, Twenty Six Cafe and began my day of exploration. It was during today's walk that I
revisited wonder and awe with discoveries of a my very first fairy house, a
beautiful paper-thin poppy flower and an old growth tree in the middle of the neighborhood.
Now, you must wonder how this has anything to do with
creativity? Well, now my 'well is full'. I have filled it with wonder, awe and
beauty. Now, I can return to my work with a colorful canvas of magical images
floating around in my brain and creatively, take on the task at hand.
“If you seek creative ideas go walking.
Angels whisper to a man when he goes for
a walk.” ― Raymond I. Myers
Have a great weekend!
