People frequently believe the creative life is grounded in fantasy. The more difficult truth is that creativity is grounded in reality, in the particular, the focused, the well observed or specifically imagined.

What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do.

When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature. When I express love, I am expressing my true nature

If we lean into what we love instead of soldiering toward what we 'should,' our pace quickens, our energy rises, optimism sets in. What we love is nutritious for us.

Choice by choice, moment by moment, I build the necklace of my day, stringing together the choices that form artful living.

Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.

The essential element in nurturing our creativity lies in nurturing ourselves.
