Creativity

To Live With Grace means that you inspire your inner child to come out to play throughout the day! You learn to SEE and FEEL by intentionally “coloring outside the lines”. To recover from loss and grief — or to turn your Time, Talent, and Treasure into Legendary Wealth – you become all you are meant to be when you choose to be actively creative.

Definition: Creativity is just connecting things. It is the ability to connect experiences you have and synthesize new things. Creativity encompasses the ability to discover new and original ideas, connections, and solutions to problems. It’s a part of our drive as humans—fostering resilience, sparking joy, and providing opportunities for self-actualization.

Life requires daily acts of ingenuity and novel workarounds; in this sense, everyone possesses an amazing amount of creativity.
