Cycles of life

First of all I would like to warmly thank Jamie for running yet another amazing book club 12 Secrets. If you don't know Jamie, she is one of the most extraordinary people I have ever met. She walks in light, and emits light to all those around her. A wishstress, a life coach, a creative dynamo, a loving wife and sister, and daughter, and friend, she gives that love to the world by helping us get in touch with our own light, and others whose light is shining bright.

Thank you Jamie :)

The interviews she has set up with other women whose creativity is like a solar impact on the world, truly embody the inspiring soul that Jamie is. This week Jamie interviewed yet another creative fount of inspiration Leah whose "Creative Every Day" project fuels creative exploration and connection.

Thank you Leah :)

With that being said, I am participating in this book club to allow my creative spirit to frolic in the playground with others. Through your blogs, your art and your creative exploration, I am discovering pieces of myself and my creative history that have been forgotten, or lie dormant.

Thank you everyone, whether you are participating in this book club or not, whether you are a woman or a man, thank you :)

The 4th "secret" is about creative cycles.

Creativity, to me, is life. As does life, so does creativity. There are highs; there are lows; there are blahs; there are AHS! But life doesn't cease until it's time to for "that sleep of death, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil" (Hamlet, 3.1), and go on to the next adventure. And even then, I believe, creativity does not end. We are creative souls. Indeed, that is how our souls speak.

How do I deal with the lows? I ride them in glee. I enjoy the scenery, knowing that as with life, there is always another wave coming.

Blessed be :)
