My Rumi Quote Book

February 6, 2012 Creativity

I’ve been having such a fun time with my Rumi Quote Book. I keep it beside my bed, and work on it every morning. It’s meditative and creative– a perfect combination! Plus, counts as being Creative Every Day. I doodle around each quote – what I really like about being creative this way is, I [...]

January 30, 2012 Books and Reading

Thank you to Joy Weese Moll, for suggesting that I put together a list of books ideal for creative inspiration for this month’s BAND (Bloggers’ Alliance of Nonfiction Devotees) discussion of books that support goals and resolutions. It was a great idea, and I’ve had a blast this past weekend going through the books on [...]

My Mid-January Goals Update

January 19, 2012 Books and Reading

One of the perks of blogging is the truly awesome accountability tool it can be. It’s mid-January already (four days past the mid-point, actually) so what better way to motivate myself goal-wise than post this little update? So how have I been doing with all my new year goals? Well … This week has actually [...]

Creative Every Day 2012

January 2, 2012 Creativity

I am super-thrilled to be participating in Leah Piken Kolidas’s Creative Every Day 2012 Challenge. And a little nervous, I must admit – because you all know me and my track record with those pesky little things called “challenges”. (And for all my bookish friends, I can almost guarantee that I’ll be breaking my self-imposed [...]

Planning for 2012

December 14, 2011 Creativity

It’s that time of the year, when the new year approaches and you find yourself sitting back and taking a look at what you want to accomplish in the twelve blank, fresh-and-new months ahead of you. Except that I normally don’t feel this way until I’m actually IN the new year. Usually, right around this [...]

Angry Birds and Creativity

June 27, 2011 Creativity

Whenever people talk about kids and video games, you don’t often hear much said about being creative, but I was thinking today about all the ways video games enhance and support my eight-year-old’s creativity. Take Angry Birds, for example. If you’re not into video games at all, Wikipedia tells you all about the phenomenon that [...]

C is for Catch-up: Daughter, Early Rising and Fun (and that takes care of D, E & F)

April 8, 2011 Blogging and Blog Events

If you take a peek at the latest posts by those participating in the A to Z Challenge, you’ll see a lot of “F” posts today. As I mentioned, yes, I am woefully behind. But Joe gave me some great advice yesterday – he suggested doing a series of small posts to get right back [...]

Wednesday Play: Blogging from A to Z & Wishcasting Fun

February 23, 2011 Blogging and Blog Events

So I came up with another idea for a regular topic for a post. Again, I can’t promise anything; we all know my track record when it comes to things like, um, being consistent and disciplined. But I do love my ideas, and as always, I can’t wait to implement them. So I’m thrilled to [...]

Inspiration Monday: Love, Prompts and Comments

January 10, 2011 Creativity

I’ve been thinking a lot about inspiration lately. And since this is January, the month of fresh starts, I’m coming up with a lot of new intentions. One of these intentions is living an inspired life. I love feeling inspired; too often inspiration tends to come when I’m deep in deadlines (like I am this [...]

[TSS] My Year of Creativity

January 2, 2011 Books and Reading

I’m not one to make resolutions – they just don’t work for me. And perhaps it’s a matter of semantics; “resolutions” and “resolve” have a hard-edged feel for me, and I much prefer the softer ease of “intention”. So at the beginning of each new year, I like to make some general intentions for the [...]
