How I Learned to Play

Though I always considered myself creative, exercising my creativity was never much of a priority. I was much too serious and had too much to do to allow myself such frivolity. So, my creative pursuits became something I treated myself with when everything else on my to do list was complete. You can guess how often that happened!

 I was often pretty miserable without really understanding why. I managed to hold it all together generally, but when I was at my breaking point, working in soul-sucking jobs or being a constant caregiver as a new mom, I felt desperate for a creative activity to keep my sanity.  But I was so out of practice that I didn't even know where to start. So, I started just by playing, trying out new techniques. A decade later when my kid was a toddler, I started playing like she did, experimenting wildly with different art media. And, for the first time in memory, I found joy. I was on fire creatively with ideas flooding into my brain, but I was also calmer, more relaxed, more patient and happier because I was finally tending to my creative soul.

"Thirty days of Creative Play -What fun that turned out to be. Some of the simple exercises provided jumping off points for more complex pieces of art.
