Your Creative License...

Why is that some jobs just seem to take forever? I have needed new tile for my front entrance way for quite some time. Ever since I came home from a trip to find that my husband had used his circular saw to cut away the sub floor; tile and all! Don't be too alarmed, he really is very handy and always completes what he starts. I have had my mind set on a Mariners Compass since that very day. Wanting one and finding one I have dicovered are two different things. I finally gave in and decided to buy something more readily available; only to find that it was not available. Then it happened, my husband suggested that we have a friend, who is an interior decorator, pick out the tile. "And give up my creative license?" I gasped.
So what exactly is a creative license? Maybe you are reading this and thinking to yourself "I am not creative!" I believe differently. I believe everyone is inherently creative, the only thing that separates what you think of yourself right now and "being creative" is your way of thinking; not your ability! So right now I am giving you your creative license! Remember, it is your license, you get to choose what you do with it. I guarantee whenever you use it you will nurture a spirit within, that spirit will grow and you will learn to trust it. The more you trust it the happier you will be. Your creativity will flow into all parts of your life! Before long you will understand why it is such a big deal for me to let someone else decide the color of my floor. My husband, on the otherhand may not understand it, but loves me for whatever "it" is regardless.

July Picture Inspiration(3): I want you to look around your abode and take a picture of something that you have used your hands to create. Maybe it is a cake that you baked and decorated, possibly a picture you doodled, flowers you arranged or simply a combination of furniture that you grouped togther. You hands have allready been at work... you had a creative license all along! Oh yes, you don't get off that easy, 5 words please that explain how you feel about what you created.
