Guys hang in there :)

I try to give it a quick read before I fall asleep, as a way to calm my ever-active brain.

One of its key 'thoughts', I guess you'd call it, is creativity. How women have to trudge our own difficult paths to reclaim it or give it back the confidence and attention it deserves.

I meet people all the time who think I'm lucky to be creative, and I do feel very fortunate. However, they also imply that they are not creative and I always disagree with them. Each and every one of us has creativity. Yet it looks different in everyone.

I admire mom's who can whip up amazing dinner's on a budget. My friends with beautifully decorated homes, people who can grow gardens or macgyver something to make it work. Now that's creative.

Life tends to reflect what we put energy , time and money into. My personal theory, anyway. So I'm betting you do more daily, in a creative way than you give yourself credit for... And if not. Well you know what you gotta do!

I wait for the economy to turn up
I wait for the circled date on my calendar to arrive
I wait for people to notice my art
I wait for something to change
I wait for my desire to create to subside... And it doesn't
And so I wait for it to come again

Quaint little Main St, Cafe Montmartre.  

A good friend, Christopher Edmonstone showed up to take photos and make us all look good.  

Have a merry Christmas folks and don't forget to download my gift to you... a new Christmas song I wrote.  1,2,3,4 wrapped.

 

Merry ho ho.

 

Lindsay
