Transform: Follow your passion

My son is such a great teacher for me. He teaches through example that I should bring your passion into every part of life. Forrest's passion is designing outfits. He's five and he's been putting together stylish outfits since he could make his needs and wants known. 

His most recent design is below.  Forrest designed this using a polo shirt, one of my shrugs, a pink skirt that he used as a belt, For color and texture he added some tissue paper from a gift, and then he tied it up with a brown knee stocking. Somehow all the bright colors and different textures worked together.


Old thought: There's too much going on for me to be creative and inspired.
New though: Inspiration can be found everywhere. And Creativity doesn't just happen. It takes work.

Follow through is important. That is one of the reasons I started this blog. I realized that I was calling myself a writer but not writing for myself anymore. I was just doing marketing writing for work. Which believe me, is the least creative thing in the world to do and not really fulfilling because no matter  how good of a writer you are - people always want/need to change something. With this I get to please myself and practice my craft.
