Finding the Artist Within

Free Yourself….it’s time for a burst of what I call midlife creative.

Freedom to express the creativity inside you is a great gift. We are all born creative. We all have this gift. The reason we hold back from accessing this gift is because we are afraid to break the rules or disappoint the people we care about. Creatives often feel trapped in a world where they are being asked to fit into a box or color in the lines when all they really want is permission to let the explosion of their true selves come out. Buried inside is a massive amount of never before seen beauty. It needs to come out, but the fear that holds them back is that others will not see their expression as beautiful.

Midlife Creative is first of all a realization. My hope is that those feeling stuck as they enter the 2nd half of their lives will ask themselves the hard questions. What am I made to create? Where do I find joy and delight? Who are the people in my life who cheer me on to be my best self? Its time for so many of us to step out of our comfortable, people pleasing existence and into a truer picture of who we want to be. It’s time for some of us to clean out our closets and get rid of what doesn’t fit anymore. Its also time to dust off an old instrument or hobby that we have set aside or explore something that we have always wanted to try. Poets, writers, dancers, actors, musicians, entrepreneurs, dreamers, and artists, I say to you….”Come awake and Come Alive…this is your time to live your best life!!”
