STILL SEARCHING

I would like to believe we have not lost our creativity, our playfulness, our wishing on a star dreams but we have misplaced them. Not intentionally.  Instead, we have learned to feel doubt and anxiety.  We have been given a different script with some degree of misdirection. Whose to blame for this is not the question. How can we create our own new script, is the issue at hand.

Putting voice to these feelings may be the key to rediscovering that soul print.

CREATIVE CHALLENGE:
What is there to loss? And, there is everything to gain. Write a poem, sing a song, keep a journal-however it can get expressed, do it with your heart and soul. Here is mine:

The Perfect Cake

I was given a recipe for the perfect cake,
By whom, I do not know.

Perhaps it was not meant for me,
but simply there for show.

I took it as my own and tried my very best,
but, no matter how hard I tried,  I never passed the test.

I learned to change the recipe, it's different every time.
but, truth is, I do love it because it's truly mine.

This change has made the making more important than the cake,
It has made me more inspired to create not duplicate.

About the Author


  • My professional training and background are in the area of Clinical Counseling and Family Therapy. After a 20 year career, I ventured into a new arena, beginning a home based business selling Children's Hand Painted Decorative Furniture and Personalized Gifts. I found both new talents and passions that I never knew I had. With no formal training, I began doing the actual painting and loved the challenges of building a new business. I built my business, THE NEXT GENERATION, from home parties to Gift Shows to the thriving Website business it is today with much hard work, determination, and perserverance. I guess you would say, I am a self taught artist and entrepreneur these days but I like to think that anyone can be anything they want if they follow their passions and their hearts and are not afraid to take risks. My greatest gift and greatest fortune are my wonderful husband and three great sons who have helped support me and believed in me even when I had my doubts.
