I have lived with chronic pain for ten years. As part of my pain management, I began doing mindful-based doodling (some people call this “zentangle”). I noticed it was a great way to distract myself from higher pain days, hours, moments. While I have always thought of myself as crafty and even though I am an art […]
I just took the plunge…a creative one that is. After years of creating art for myself and as gifts for my friends and family, I have decided it is time to leave the safe zone and enter the world of business. I have just finished setting up an official Facebook page to sell my work; https://www.facebook.com/kittysdaydreams […]
For many summers, beginning when my son was just one year old, we went to family camp. One year, a camper brought a boomerang and in between our many scheduled activities it became the must-do activity for all of the campers throughout the week.

…on the cycle of creativity that is. I have gone once through the cycle. Okay…I have probably cycled through it at least 461 times this week.. While I know there is a cycle of creativity (at least I am assuming there is), I have absolutely no idea of what it consists. I suppose I should […]
I didn’t post yesterday because I hadn’t finished the creative piece I had begun. I found myself headed toward the same thing today. I can’t post things that aren’t finished…that is cheating! I realized that part of being creative is accepting the process itself. At times, this can be even more of a challenge than […]
…and this has made all the difference. If I could earn an air mile for the hundreds of thoughts and ideas that fly around my mind each day, I would have been able to travel around the world at least ten times this year. Right now Air Canada ticket agents are breathing a collective sigh […]
