Saturday Morning Post: Always Ready to Create

Our minds are always ready to create. To play a familiar tune, maybe in a new way, to tell a tale, to paint from the heart, to sculpt, to shape clay, to draw.  To do this we need time and to give ourselves permission to create. To free our minds from the shoulda, coulda, oughta, thought that stifles our creativity. To let go, and let it flow. 

It is interesting the first violin is on stage playing long before the orchestra is called.  She has been judged by her peers to be the best of the best, and yet she takes advantage of a few extra minutes to create music. Not because she needs to, or has to, her very being yearns to create music, and she gives herself permission to play whenever and wherever she has a few minutes to do so.

Make time this week. Ignore Facebook for an afternoon, create while the laundry dries, skip vacuuming the floor for a week, and take back those few minutes to create. Give yourself permission to enjoy your time, it is your time, we only have so much time, if we don't choose to do what we love, others will fill our time for us.  Don't let others steal your creative moments.
