this creative life

Creativity drives a lot of my life. I'm awakened in the morning by ideas of songs, poems, or articles for this blog. I find creativity in everything I do. I creatively try to do better as a father, as a boyfriend, and as a co-worker. I'm always on the warm side of the spectrum and I'm always surprised when I run into, or across, negative-focused people. Let's make an effort here to find the joy in life, the creative in living, and the prayer of creation. That's my goal. Will you join me on this aspirational adventure?

Make time for your art. Find the alone time. Find your voice. Listen for the sounds around you and the sounds inside your mind. Take each thread of creative energy as a gift. Dig the vein of gold as deep as you can. Bleed out on the page, on the canvas, in the song. Bleed. Cry. Leap. Laugh. Be mad. The best ones are.
