Give me a few days of spring-like weather and I feel really green! Green speaks to me of new life!              When I "go green," there is growth happening. Like the tender runners of my strawberry plants, new interests take me beyond what I am presently doing.              I find a similar pattern always occurs. Some new …
Day 36 “Just What the Doctor Ordered!”
My husband and I took a Valentine's Day trip to the Getty Villa in Malibu, California. Both of us really needed this creative excursion. If a prescription could cure the work blues, this day would be at the top of doctor's medicine lists. We had such a refreshing day getting away! This museum is very different from the Getty in Los Angeles, …
Day 34 “A Rainbow of Possibilities”
Some of us "creative types" have prism-like mind. Artistic inspiration moves through our thoughts like white light separating into a spectrum of colorful ideas. What may seem to others as lack of focus, to us is a rainbow of artistic possibilities.    I have always cherished rainbows. During difficult times, rainbows reminded me of hope. I found comfort in …
Day 33 “I See Red”
 Red is a passionate and powerful color!      I love red! Red hearts and red roses symbolize love.      "Redness" ignites feelings of loving life...and taking pictures to prove it!      Yet beyond all the red expressions I am so used to seeing stateside, I found this vibrant color interwoven throughout the culture of Argentina.      How can one not …
Day 28 “I Teach”
"A moment happens while living upon this earth when you realize it is not all about you…and then you teach!"  I need to refocus! Yesterday's session with my editor spun me out of optimism and into a depressive inertia. I spent my time designing the "Refrain from the Identical" creativity site because I had …
Day 27 “Right Turns”
Have you ever had a sharp "right turn" redirect your destiny? What you anticipated happening abruptly dead ends and the only path left seems disappointing?  If I had a nickel for every time this happened to me, I could buy a motor scooter and drive through the streets of Uruguay (oh wait, my children …
Day 26 “Chameleon”
When I began this blogging quest, I wanted my blog to reflect what I experience in my personal identity search, "You never know what you're going to get!" I go on more bird walks off the intended path than thought humanly possible. Perhaps this tendency is an addiction to the new or maybe just an …
Day 25 “Homespun Creativity”
Ok, I've hit the wall! Daily posting proves rigorous for this full-time teacher and at times I will miss the mark. The posts will still be numbering although they will not coincide with the day's date. I am also working on categorizing them better for finding past favorites. With that said, here is day 25 a little late:  …
Day 24 “Renaissance…”
Creativity is a continual rebirth. Every inspired moment rejuvenates—whether a new creation results or not. However, a fresh project invigorates soul. For us inspirational types, combining our art, writing, photography etc. touches spirit as well.  When "what we believe" transforms into visual forms, the belief becomes a little more personal, meaningful, and real. I, …
