Thinking Creatively


Thinking Creatively.

This is what's been on my mind. (Along with a bunch of other foggy chatter, to be honest.)

But Friday morning, right after I stepped out of the shower, this totally awesome idea came to me. For weeks I've literally been tossing ideas around in my head about a certain project I want to create--but nothing seemed to synch well together.

This started to really frustrate me.

Anyways, before I'd go to sleep each night I'd write my ideas down--just to let them have a place to rest for the evening, so possibly I could find a little slumber myself.

How can one think Creatively if you're brain is toast?

So.....right after I had this great idea I realized a little somethin somethin about thinking Creatively....for me, it takes time to build.
It takes a lot of little pieces coming together to create that "a-ha" moment.
Numerous brush strokes to create a masterpiece.
Lots of tasty vegetables to make a delicious soup.
A village to raise a child.
A few sentences to make a paragraph.
Tons of sand to make a beach.

Catch my drift?

That's it. Pretty simple stuff--but to me, it was so stinkin' profound.

Just knowing this eases my discomfort with waiting--or even worse--not knowing. Because the truth is, we do know--we know little pieces--little fragments--it just takes a bit of good ol' fashioned patience to make the magic really happen.

So carry on you Creative Wildwomen...carry on and persevere.

I tend to have my most creative thoughts and ideas in the shower. Especially if I'm getting ready to do something totally unrelated - like go to a day job. Go figure. : )

Congrats on your enlightening moment!

And this is why I tote around a notebook

It catches those things and holds them close until all the buddies get together and are ready to play as a team

Shoot I think I just made some sort of baseball analogy
