Creativity sparks


I watched her as she etched various doodles into the sand with an old stick. My four-year old cousin's creativity amused me for about ten minutes. Young children's creativity never stops blossoming, but at some point in the growing-up stage it starts slowing down. I hope that you will ponder this thought this week, and try to shoot some creativity sparks into your everyday life. After all, what is life without a little creativity?
"Creativity is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself. "-Alan Alda
I hope you all have a marvelous Sunday! And I hope your life will become a little more creative.

  3. As I watch my children grow I notice the sub conscious mind grows, thus blocking the creativity. There is a point in time we become aware for what others may think of our creativeness. As we can become more concerned about what others think and we strive to be liked the true self becomes hidden. I hope I do enough to encourage my children to continue to be themselves and do what comes naturally.

    I love the photo it's so fitting to your words.
