Your Incredibly Creative Soul…<\/p>\n

Everybody has a creative soul. In fact, it is the storehouse for your creativity.<\/p>\n

I did not grow up thinking I was creative \u2013 at all. I had mistakenly associated creativity with something only more artistic people who had talent could do. Painters, dancers, film makers, story tellers\u2026you know those<\/em> people : )<\/p>\n

When my twin girls auditioned and got accepted into a musical theatre program in high school (an hour commute!), I was thrilled for them, and a little panicked.<\/p>\n

I had no idea how to support what I assumed was an \u2018arts approach\u2019 to education, and I wasn\u2019t ready for the idea of them traveling downtown on public transit at 14.<\/p>\n

I had to remind myself I took public transit for an hour commute when my mother decided attending a private all-girls high school at 14 was better for my education.
\nThe Artist’s Way<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when I remembered a book collecting dust on my shelf called \u201cThe Artist\u2019s Way\u201d by Julia Cameron & figured it might be valuable now!<\/p>\n

It was one of many synchronicities to remind me that you have exactly what you need in mysterious ways.<\/p>\n

It turned out to be a 12-week course on how to get out of your own way by following a spiritual path to higher creativity<\/em>. I couldn\u2019t believe this book had been there all along just waiting for me to be ready.<\/p>\n

I completely devoured it. Did the exercises, tasks, journaled. It was a big missing piece I was seeking:<\/p>\n

Everybody possesses a creative soul and it comes from our spiritual nature!!<\/h2>\n

For you to become a creative soul and get creative ideas need space. A deep PAUSE is required away from the external noise in our busy minds. The creative process connects you to your spiritual \u2018well within\u2019 filled with \u2018living water\u2019 that never runs dry.<\/p>\n

Your Divine Fragment<\/h4>\n

There is a part of everyone that\u2019s creative. I call it your Cosmic Compass. It’s also known as your mystery monitor. Others call it your intuition, higher self, divine self, or pilot light.<\/p>\n

When the pandemic hit, and all my children were back home, their creative juices of these spiritual seeds I\u2019d been doing my best to plant \u2013 began sprouting!<\/p>\n

I wanted them to follow their own sense of purpose and somehow help elevate the consciousness knowing that each of us is a divine part of our collective reality.<\/p>\n

It had to come naturally from within their creative soul.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been sharing shorter spiritual lessons with them to help remind them of their creativity this summer..<\/p>\n

Stillness<\/h4>\n

Compose yourself, clear your mind. Don’t think about anything. Don’t think about not thinking. I like to use the example of the water in the glass. The more you try to calm the water, the more it is stirred. Just allow it to fall into the bottom and come to rest naturally, and you will find that there is a stillness which has great vitality. Those who can find meaning in the empty spaces are truly on the right path. – Will <\/em><\/p>\n

I explain how when we try to control something that\u2019s bothering us, the more resistance you will get, and it will become an uphill battle. The space of stillness creates flow when they are calm. Insights show up here.<\/p>\n

There is a light they can find that will have them experiencing signs and synchronicities.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not only signs like the 11:11 time prompts to confirm they are on the right path and surrounded by unseen guidance, but creative ideas that can arrive inconveniently in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

Awake at Night..<\/h4>\n

Music for a song will suddenly pop into my daughter Leah\u2019s mind at 3 a.m., and she has to get up and write it down. It\u2019s the same way ideas show up for my writing – smack in the middle of the night!<\/p>\n

There really is a part of you waiting to connect within that is FULL of insights you want to know about, and ideas you\u2019re looking for.<\/h4>\n

It can happen watching the sunrise. With journals in hand, this early morning of stillness witnessing the beauty of nature is perfect for creative flow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m a big believer in listening and following the yearnings of your soul. Where a will exists to make a genuine difference in whatever creative way feels right for you \u2013 a way will show up!<\/p>\n

I wanted to share some \u201cresults\u201d, which I think of more as \u201coutcomes\u201d of how creativity flows from your soul that my children have been creating this summer.<\/p>\n

We often only see the \u2018end result\u2019 without understanding the process of what went on all along\u2026that\u2019s the silent journey of your soul.<\/p>\n

Leah – an aspiring Composer<\/h4>\n

When Covid hit, she and her sister decided to watch every Disney Princess movie in order from the beginning..her twin sister Makayla suggested she create a medley out of the Princess songs.<\/p>\n

Leah arranged a duet by ear arranging each piece and teaching her sister one by one.<\/p>\n

It was hard not to notice the evolution of Snow White waiting passively with \u201cSomeday My Prince Will Come\u201d in 1937 to the independent, adventurer of Moana\u2019s \u201cHow Far I\u2019ll Go\u201d as she set sail across the ocean in 2016.<\/p>\n
