Bleach Cubes“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.” ~ Osho

Welcome to Day 13 of the  Love Challenge. If you’re only just catching up with us today go here first to find out what you need to do to get started.

Today is about being creative and the picture above was my response to a spontaneous opportunity to be creative at the local Bleach Festival, a celebration of the visual and performing arts and beach culture on Sunday.  Des saw the ABC Open  stand for the festival and they had a surfboard, lots of colored markers and an invitation to write a message on the board. The format of the message was to be:(beach name) is the best beach because………………………………. Des called me over and of course I leapt at the chance to celebrate our favorite local beach at Rainbow Bay. As you can see from the picture, I wrote “Rainbow is the best beach because it is peaceful and full of spirit.” and added lots of hearts to it. They had the best chalk markers that I must get a set of. They allow for creativity to flow and awesome colors.

“Creativity is our true nature; blocks are an unnatural thwarting of a process at once as normal and as miraculous as the blossoming of a flower at the end of a slender green stem.”~ Julia Cameron


I am

Today’s exercise is to write words that will help you further your self love process. I have my name there as when these words formed for me I did need to acknowledge myself.. you can do this on paper , in your journal or make yourself a card. Then take 5 minutes to be still and listen for your heart whisper, you might ask: “what do you want me to know about loving myself?” Allow those words to flow onto your chosen surface.

Then when you have written the words take out some colored pencils, textas, crayons or magazines and paste and decorate it and don’t think, just allow the colors to flow and when you have finished acknowledge yourself. if you feel blocked just doodle in color. Please share your whispers in the comments and if you feel game a link to the image. Be bold.

“The concept of creativeness and the concept of the healthy, self-actualizing fully human person, seem  to be coming closer and closer together, and may turn out to be the same thing.” ~ Abraham Maslow
