I enjoyed reading and learning a totally different "side"/meaning to the word Creativity! I, like many others always assumed and pictured being creative having to do with a craft, picture or something hands-on; yet it being a "special talent". After thinking taking extra time to "think out of the box", I realize and share with you a "new" tidbit of creativity I have thought and learned about myself just now; that being I am always looking/doing/thinking of things that are not just what others think as "typical/common", but wanting to always to add that extra special "touch" when thinking of gifts, thoughts, gestures, or simply helping others. :) Surprisingly and yet pleasingly, my heart did just skip a beat after typing this. :) I do know that I need work more on your "great" quote...Risk your fears and allow yourself, and others, to experience your Younique Self! Thanks for sharing the "creative" side of you too, Susan! Thanks Susan! I enjoyed reading and learning a totally different “side”/meaning to the word Creativity!

So true though; to embrace our creativity and seek the middle ground to allow our wiser, and higher selves lead the way! And, NO...not too deep at all! Perfectly said.

We take life too seriously... we've been hurt and don't want to feel badly again... we've experienced fearful situations that we want to protect ourselves from. Funny how when we're younger we want to be older, and then as we get older we want to re-embrace our youth. Maybe the solution is to find that middle ground. Embrace our creativity, the awe and magic of life... and allow our True Selves, who are wise and strong to lead us through the maze of reality. Too deep...??? :) Susan PS. I was a Philosophy major for my bachelors degree... ;) Gosh, we all seem to lose a bit of it as we get older.

These days creativity certainly seems to be the consummate buzz word :)I love how you talk about unlocking the cuffs of expectation. (One of my friends recently said, we really ought not "should" all over ourselves...cute, eh?!) Awhile back I posted a story on my recently revived blog about Crayolas...and made a similar observation about how children are so "in the moment." And, just the other day I was talking with my father about how I kept myself (and other kids in my neighborhood) entertained. (NOTE: this involved several after-school role playing scenarios where everyone was given an assigned part to play by me! haha) I was given the gift (and challenge) of being an only child, and grew up in the 70's with a single mother. As you probably can already see where this is going...suffice it to say that creativity became my strong suit early on, because just living every day life *was* the process of being creative. BUT, I did lose it as I grew older and picked up my "masks" to don through the course of the last several years. However, I am now happy to say that I've come full circle, the masks have been tossed to the wayside, and I'm back in the mode of "living creatively every day," and it feels GOOD! :) I have stumbled most recently onto a community that sprung into being based upon the works of Edward de Bono. And I must say, I'm more than intrigued by the creative processes they speak of and teach. It prompted me to think about the creative process and as a result I posted a quick blurb on my "blog" there. http://bit.ly/cexvvk .-= Cecelia´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CreativeThoughtsFreshTalk/~3/nktAJyIH-zM/crayola-doesnt-make-color-for-your-eyes.html" rel="nofollow"></a> =-.
