Be curious and kind

I never thought of myself as creative.  The truth is we’re all creative in some way. Often in ways we don’t give ourselves credit for.We downplay things we do. Do you garden, cook, paint, have a knack for D.I.Y or build Lego?  All of those and so much more are what being creative is all about.

Life is about exploring, imagining and creating. The possibilities are endless. But we must feel capable and that’s where I’ve struggled.

I journal to make sense of myself and the world around me, and to hopefully inspire others. Blogging has become somewhat of a journal too. Cooking and baking has also proven a valuable tool for my busy mind. That feeling of creating and achieving something- it’s what we all need on a regular basis. It’s what keeps us going and growing.

I’ve always spent a lot time in my own head- my overthinking has found it’s way into many diaries, notebooks and stories. Creating another place for my mind to go felt freeing and somehow very Me when I was young. In my mind though, I’ll forever be that person. Creating something, however small. After all, the small things all add up..
