Hi everyone, I’ve been reflecting lately on what it means to live a truly "creative" life. Sometimes we think it’s about the finished product, but lately, for me, it’s about the moments in between. (Just as well because I'm not getting a lot of 'finishing' done these days!) Watching my ducks and my goose, Baby, splash in the pond and run to meet me (even if they leave a mess behind!) is something that is filling my tank right now. I love the mornings spent in quiet reflection, even when that silence is joyfully interrupted by my grandkids. 😅 It’s reminded me that we don't need a "perfect" setup to be happy. My cottage is tiny, and I’m still waiting on a kitchen, wondering if I'll ever have one, but it’s taught me that the simple things—and the people we love—are what truly feed the soul. I’d love to know: What is one "simple thing" in your home or workspace today that is bringing you joy? 🕊️

Sundays is always a contemplative day for me! Today I as I sat and journaled, I listened to music - it helps me focus and get in touch with what’s really going on in my heart. I’ve had a hectic week and found it hard to settle - my mind felt busy and overwhelmed so it was good to sit and write. Down my feelings as I listened to the words of numerous songs… The words below caught my attention. What are your thoughts when you see them?

Have you watched @Stephanie Kara’s lovely YT channel? I was watching one day and in amongst the relaxing scenes of ducks and chickens and cottage vibes I won a prize! I feel so blessed and pampered and grateful. Here’s what she sent me:

I want to thank @Sharon Jones for sharing her recent writings! https://www.skool.com/write-make-create-6156/i-wrote-you?p=87260e3c I didn't know she had this creative talent hiding among her tech skills! If you have listened, please do! What makes community so good is when we all participate! What can you bring to the table today? I'll start.

A writer isn't someone who has written a book! I have always been a writer - not an official Author, so to speak, but most definitely a writer. Creating space to write is part of my creative flow! There's something really special when words begin to flow onto paper with ease, and the cadence of the written word dances into a story, a poem, or just a simple journal entry. Let's kick off this Writer's Space with a little poll, and I'll also ask @Sharon Jones to share a beautiful poem she sent me this week in a separate post. Let's answer the poll first, and then feel free to share your written words at any time in the weeks ahead in a separate post and don't forget to post under the topic "Writer's Space!"
