How Am I Creative?

I’m giving this a little thought.

People have said to me: “Oh you’re so creative”.

It didn’t always sound like a compliment. There were a few years when I lived in a community that said it as a bit of a ‘backhanded’ compliment. At the time, I started cringing when I heard it.

Not anymore.

Now I stand squarely and solidly in my creative abilities. I dearly love to create. It’s fun!

Creation is something everyone does. We are doing it right now. We create our life. Everything we own, we either bought or was gifted to us. Someone thought of how to make it. Someone else made it. Someone else sold it or gave it to us. We chose. We saw it, wanted it and made it part of our creation. We invite things and people and edit out what doesn’t fit. We make our creation, basically, we are always creating our life. (Sometimes we aren’t aware of our editing power, or our inviting power, but we all have it)

It’s amazing that we all are doing this. I marvel at this process now. Sometimes I look at my own paintings and wonder how I created them. I guess I know this one little secret. Some artists talk about it, others do not. Some forget…

The secret is that the best art is always created with unseen help.

Just know, HELP is very important.

Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful day🩵🧡🩷
