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.

LOVE it !!!!!
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
very, very well said!
meeee tooooo!!!! yes - absolutely - that is how it forms for me as well - and as i was reading your post - the light flicked on for me too (beuller...beuller!!!) don't you just love it when a plan comes together - now i will see the signs and let it all simply unfold as it should , in its own time, unhindered by me trying to force it to life... thankyou :)
I totally, absolutely get this! I am the same way...stuff has to jumble around in my head awhile before a cohesive picture comes together.
great post!
