Finding Your Creative Voice - Day 6: Relax and Enjoy the Journey

When I saw the 31 Day challenge just a day or two before it started I jumped at the opportunity. I chose this topic because it is one I think of often.

But now, six days in, I find myself stressing. I didn't go into this with a clear plan at all. But as I thought about this today, I began to realize that this is often the case with a new journey, a creative adventure. There's not always a clear path, or a detailed map. Sometimes we just need to relax and see where the road takes us.

So that is my thought for the day. Relax and enjoy the journey. Know that there will be twists and turns and we can't always quite see around the next turn, but that okay. It's part of the fun.

31 Days to Finding Your Creative Voice - Day 5: Thinking About Our Lists

Yesterday we made a list of the first ten things we could think of that were of interest to us. I did it myself and it was fun, and I actually was a little surprised at some of the things that showed up on that list.

Today, I want us each to pick one thing on that list, and as we go about our daily activities, see if we can think of one or two ways to use these interests that we have never done before.

Write down these ideas somewhere and keep them for tomorrow.

31 Days to Finding Your Creative Voice - Day 1

A large group of bloggers is commiting this month to writing for 31 days on a specific topic. I thought I it sounded like fun, although I know it's also going to be a challenge.

The subject I have chosen for this month is 31 Days to Finding Your Creative Voice.

I firmly believe that God has given each of a voice. I also believe that the Creator, who made each of us in His own image, placed within each of a spark of creativity.

So, just to get us started today I'm going to look at a few definitions of the words creative and voice. These definitions come from

Creative*

adjective

1. having the quality or power of creating

2. resulting from originality of thought, expression, etc.; imaginative

3. originative; productive

Voice*

noun

- something likened to speech as conveying impressions to the mind: the voice of nature

- expression in spoken or written words, or by other means

*I only used the definitions listed that I felt applied to the subject at hand.

I'm looking forward to exploring these ideas further in the days ahead and to reading the posts of other 31 Dayers.
