Howdy & Happy Summer!

I am here with a deep dive into a topic I have long been a promoter and cultivator of:  Creativity.  I don’t only mean artistic creativity. I mean using creativity to solve problems, shape communication, approach new projects, and of course, use it for entertainment or artistic purposes.  I wanted to discuss that being creative doesn't only mean to be an artist; for me, it means looking at a problem/challenge/your daily life differently, with fresh eyes and being insightful.  I am having this conversation with a long-time friend of mine, Kathryn Deiss, who truly embraces creativity to the core of her being, exudes it to everyone who she has an experience with and is an expert on the subject both in her work and her other life roles.  It is wonderful to be in her presence.

We talk about the stereotypes of creativity in society and how that can stifle a person as well as understanding how to tap into your own source of creativity to help you better communicate and problem solve along with instilling a fresh new approach to all that you do each day.

SO. Step out of the chaos of life again for an hour or so to learn, to grow, to hear another perspective, and in the words of author Elizabeth Gilbert’s approach to creativity, “constantly choose courage over fear.”

I am proud of your courageous steps toward trying any form of creativity on.  Be Well, Marlo
