Awakening of the soul

I am always creating, whether it’s painting, dancing or singing, I am drawn to the Arts.

The Arts brings me happiness, and fulfillment. I draw inspiration from the beauty of life, from the trees, and the people I meet, to the very air that I breathe. It is a way of life, as Elizabeth Gilbert, expressed in her book, Big Magic, " A creative life is an amplified life. It's a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner continually and stubbornly bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you is a fine art, in and of itself."  

Of course there are moments when you encounter an Artist's block, or events within your life can interfere; where finding time to create is limited. Then it becomes a matter of "making the time". The saying, there isn't enough time in a day, is false. When you want something, or crave something bad enough, you find ways to make time. If that entails waking up early, then guess what; the early bird always gets the worm. 

Nothing in life is easy to obtain, especially when it comes to happiness and peace of mind. Both require hard work, Also, keeping your body and mind healthy and active is also a major part in living a good creative life.

Many people believe they are “not creative”, news flash, we are all creative beings! Creativity is both a skill and a process. Creativity is something you can learn. And like any other skill, it's something you can get better at through practice and repeated use. Creativity can be as simple as going for a walk and if you listen closely, you can listen to the bird’s song. They sing to life!

I encourage everyone to explore, be curious and be brave, because learning, creating something new, awakens the soul!

Happy Creative living!!
