"Creative Expression"

This inspirational series began as a way to share the story of my spiritual journey, piece by piece.

"You can't use up creativity. The more you use the more you have." - Maya Angelou

Having a creative outlet is a healthy way to release built-up feelings and emotions. We're not just talking about the "bad" feelings, even good feelings must be expressed.

This painting is where my subconscious mind expresses itself beyond words in a releasing flow of all my emotions. My direction was to make it vibrant and bubbly, but after I began, I let my subconscious mind intuitively take over.

This subconscious state sparks the emotions that fuel my expression. Being creative helps me release and cope with intense feelings. It helps me get my fire out!

Let's use our emotions to ignite something deep, to reawaken the soul, to cry out in song and deep prayer!

Self-expression has the power to reveal new unknown layers. It can let out feelings that we did not even know we had. Creativity gives the space to explore what we are passionate about because it allows the internal flow to be released.

Giving ourselves permission to take the time for creativity is more important than we think. It will feel great and results in making us more joyous and inspired beings. We will also begin to see that we are more efficient and productive in everything else we do in life.

So let's get out of our comfort zone and EXPRESS OURSELVES. Even if it means reaching out and talking to a friend, talking to God, or taking on a new hobby.
