The Conundrum of Creativity
Creativity is flighty. We wait for the muse… when will she appear?
Creativity is intimidating. The blank canvas is before us… where do we start?
Creativity is elusive. We get a great start on a project, then nothing.
Like many artists, I’ve experienced all of the above.
To access my creativity, I thought:
I needed a cup of tea.
I needed to hold my mouth right.
I needed more talent.
Now, I view things differently.
I pursued creativity for nearly 50 years.
In the process, I realized that creativity is not something to be pursued. It does not exist in a vacuum; it is meant to be put to use and enjoyed. And it’s up to us to nourish, nurture, and grow it.
Today, I believe that creativity
. . . is life-giving.
. . . is within each of us.
. . . is accessible to all.
All creatives can become happier, healthier, and more productive… on their terms.
I help creatives focus on what fuels them
✧ Discern your creative calling:
Identify the gifts you’re meant to do.
✧ Build confidence:
Believe in your abilities and stand by your strengths.
✧ Develop resilience:
Let go of the fear of failure and bounce back from adversity.
✧ Hone your focus:
Avoid distraction and keep moving forward.
✧ Achieve goals:
Get things done with a clear path ahead.
"Carrie took the time to sit down with me and understand my vision and the message I wanted to relate. She took my hand and walked with me through the process. Through the years I've been in business I can't recall a better experience. Thank you, Carrie."
