From Denny: With some cool weather finally arriving, even in relieved south Louisiana, your mind turns to the winds - and kite flying! Loved this sweet quote from 1940's actress Lauren Bacall. It's like a haiku of inner thought, packed with more meaning than the surface of the words imply.

* Imagination is the highest kite one can fly. - Lauren Bacall

How Do You Know Your Creativity is Art?

From Denny: This quote really gave me a chuckle. So many times a recipe or an artwork or even a write didn't turn out like I expected, seeming wrong from the original plan. Yet, I would step back, take a look with fresh eyes and recognize how the work was far superior to what had been scripted!

Let your creativity flow, and, when it does, give it a chance to prove to you its value.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. - Scott Adams

Why is Joy Important to Cultivate in Your Life?

From Denny: When harsh life tests come our way and often becoming overwhelming it can be difficult to maintain our joy.

It's imperative to cultivate joy, even the smallest joy in our lives. Why? Because joy is the door to creativity and creativity is the door to problem-solving.

Each dovetails into the other. Do your best to find joy in something or someone no matter how small and insignificant you may think it to be. In the end, no joy was insignificant if it kept your spiritual spark alive and thriving. Enjoy your world with enthusiasm!

* Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
