Our Creative May has started off with a bang. This was a month-long creativity challenge that I decided I needed to put into my life because if I’m not intentional about arting sometimes, I won’t actively engage in making it.
The idea was spawned last September when I challenged myself to create every day for the month of September. It was hash-tagged #MyCreativeSeptember and was a complete success in allowing my inner child to not only play every day, but trust me that I’d take care of her play needs. It was a big deal.
And during and after the challenge, other people asked that we create a hashtag that would carry on. And so #OurCreativeSelves was created. I am blessed and blown away by all the sweet and talented people who wanted to join in on these endeavors alongside of me. Because truth is, you are never ever alone. There is someone else close by or far away who needs the same stuff you do. Creativity, inspiration, encouragement, and community. And that’s what life is all about to me.
So please join in for a day or a week if you are intrigued. You only need to post a picture of your art/craft/creative endeavor on Instagram or Facebook and hashtag it with #OurCreativeMay and you will be instantly connected with some lovely swell people. Tag me and you’ll get my attention quicker too. 26 more days to go in May. Pushing beyond my comfort zone just a little is good for my soul.
