Solitude is necessary

Deliberately seeking solitude-quality time spent away from family and friends-may seem selfish. It is not.

Creativity and Spirituality

“When we move toward our own creativity, we move toward our Creator. When we seek to become more spiritual, we find ourselves becoming more creative.

In Love With Life

It’s an alchemical thing. Yes, we do get the gold out of it but that’s notContinue reading “All Creativity is Magic”

You Become More Divine…

“You become more divine as you become more creative. All the religions of the world have said God is the creator. I don’t know whether he is the creator or not, but one thing I know: the more creative you become, the more godly you become. When your creativity comes to a climax, when yourContinue reading “You Become More Divine…”

Creativity in the Kitchen

Living a life with food restrictions has been on of my greatest challenges, but it has also been great fun.  It has required not only stepping outside the box, but sometimes ripping that box to pieces.   I have learned to try things that just seem impossible, because they usually work — like flax seed “eggs”Continue reading “Creativity in the Kitchen”
