The Beast Meets Barney
Purple and green creatures are few and far between, but there's one in particular that comes to mind....
I have to tell a story about Barney -- when my kids were in prime Barney age, I convinced them that I was afraid of purple dinosaurs and that was why we couldn't have him on the screen. They were quick to switch it off and reassured me that it was "only a guy in a suit, Mommy." Thus we enjoyed a Barney-free existence. And, my kids looked out for me, cool cats that they are.

Give the Gift of the Creative Beast
Recently, Rick at Middle Aged Crazy gave a webinar entitled, "When do I Get to Be Me?"
It was all about making creative space in your life, in asking the world for the room to roam a bit.
Here's a little add-on to that thought: The best way to receive more creative space is, to give it to other people.
For example, if time to create is part of your family culture, everyone respects one another's creative time.
And here's an added bonus: When you are around other people who are making things or trying things out, it makes your own work better. Doesn't even matter if you work in the same medium. It just alters your environment to be a place where ideas are part of the scenery, and where unexpected combinations can occur.
So here's a little reminder called "The Gift of the Creative Beast," about how to release and encourage the Beast in others -- and make the world a more creative place for yourself in the process.
