Everyone always tells you how different things are going to be once you have kids.  It was hard for me to understand what that statement really meant until I become a parent.

This how I would best explain it… for me it was as if my heart no longer lived inside my body, it lived in hers.

I owe it to my daughter to give her everything I can to prepare her to create the life she desires.  That is my responsibility as her mom.

The keyword here is CREATE.

So what does the word create really mean? Well, according to Merriam-Webster:

 

cre·ate
verb \krē-ˈāt, ˈkrē-ˌ\
: to make or produce (something) : to cause (something new) to exist
: to cause (a particular situation) to exist
: to produce (something new, such as a work of art) by using your talents and imagination

 

Creativity is not something we learn “how to do”.  It’s there from day one in each one of us.  We simply need to preserve it.

As a parent, it’s my obligation to nurture and support my creative child.  Children are naturally creative and curious.  Hand a toddler a crayon and a piece of paper.  You won’t need to show them what to do – they’ll know what to do.  If you’re a parent, you know what I mean.  Our job is to teach our children to embrace their creativity and watch them shape and develop it as they grow.

How each of us expresses our creativity is what makes us unique. For some (like me) it’s drawing and painting.  For others it’s music, writing, cooking, sewing, sculpture, building things, or fixing things.  You name it – there is something we’re all drawn to.

We each have an art that is ours. What is that for you?

When I’m focused on creating art, it’s like nothing else exists.  When you find that space in your mind and you are freely creating, it’s magical.

My mother has supported my creative life from as early as I can remember.  It’s now my turn to spark and nurture that creative spirit in my daughter.

 

Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.  – Picasso

At 5 years old – I’d say we’re well on our way.  The expression on her face in this picture says it all.

 

The potential lives in each one of us to create the path in life we choose.  It all starts with our thoughts.  We create within our minds then we create within our world.

Creative people make things happen.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.  – Marcus Aurelius
