Every Day Creativity

Every day I have committed to moving, making, and mothering. What does this mean? It means that I intentionally move my body; Whether that be a walk around the block, some easy stretches, a full blown workout, or a dance class. It means that I make something creative; Whether that be a fancy cup of coffee, a watercolor painting, a doodle in my journal, a digital illustration, or dinner. It means that I make time to spend with the studio gremlin (my toddler); Whether that be reading a book on the couch together, taking her to the park, having a coffee date up at the local shop, or having an after dinner dance party. I have decided that life is too short to not spend my time doing the things that I love most and these are the things I love most. Moving, making, mothering. So I ensure that in this fast paced world, I slow down long enough to partake in creative acts, no matter how small. Creativity doesn't have to be this big production. It doesn't have to be an evening length show (although sometimes it is-save the date 09.13.2025) and it doesn't have to be a full paint session. Sometimes we can't find that kind of time. BUT I can always find a little bit of time for every day creativity; to describe the color of the sky, to add a new move to our handshake, to take a new route home, to put a seed in some soil, to color with my kiddo. These are the moments I cherish and this week, I want to encourage you to find the tiny moments of creativity in your day to day too.
