Do you every wonder if you are creative?

A few years ago if anyone had said that to me I would have said no, I am not very good.

I attended some art therapy workshops through my journey which really helped. At first I didn’t want to draw on the paper, I would just stare at it wondering where to start, what too create on it. I hadn’t at that stage realised that if I made a mistake I could rub it out, throw out the paper and get a new one or I could use that mistake and make something out of it.

It took me a few weeks to break through this and then I started to create. I started calling my artwork abstract which freed me up to try new things and to mix up art mediums.

Fast forward a few years and now I find myself in a season loving being creative. This is not only with art it also includes singing, dancing, song writing, blogging, speaking and photography.

Being creative for me also includes how you decorate your house, your office, cooking and the way you dress.

I want to be creative everyday.

Creativity is all around us, we just need to stop have a look.

What do you see?

What do you see on your way to work, what do you hear?

I know that we are all creative.

My thought for this week is what could you do to start the creative journey?

I know that I am designed to be creative.

However that looks, I am happy with it.

Will share more soon.

I love Pinterest, I don’t know if you have ever discovered this site it is amazing.  A friend of mine told me about it a few years ago and every time I saw her she asked “Have you been on Pinterest yet?”

Then I discovered it, let’s just say for someone who loves creating and loves quotes this was an amazing source of inspiration.

I find that when I just want to relax I will go on it and see what I can find. I could spend quite a while on it.

The other day I was looking at fundraising ideas and I came across a tee shirt, the description that described what it was about said that purchasing this tee shirt would go towards helping someone recover from an Eating Disorder.

I thought, what a great idea.

Vulnerable moment-

I know that when I was going through my journey the cost that was involved to recover can add up. I am blessed that I had private health cover which helped a lot.

I know that it can be concerning when you want to recover but then there is a money issue.

I would never want anyone to stop asking for help, just because of their financial situation.

I have spoken with other people who have been on the journey about the cost. What do you do if you don’t have private health cover, what do you do if you don’t have the money so see the specialist or to pay for any medication you may need at the time?

One of my hopes and dreams would be to set up and help fundraise. This is what The Heart Project is all about reaching out and helping others.

The tee shirt ideas would be fantastic I would really love to have a beautiful picture on it and then the words-

FOR HER FUTURE

I don’t know how it would all work at the moment, but I know that if you have a passion to help others you will find a way.

FOR HER FUTURE

I cannot wait to get started.

I will share more soon.

The Purpose of this blog is to encourage others.

I am going to be quiet vulnerable in the next few weeks in sharing my journey.

I am taking a deep breath and exhaling.

Okay here goes.

For me to make some changes this year and to go into the direction that I have wanted to go I need to be brave, I need to be bold and to take that next step.

I need to share my journey.

It did not destroy me, is what I am saying and claiming over my life.

I will share more soon.
