Came across this today.

I love this lady for what she promotes and who she is.

Love Brene's work!

Found this talk recently:

Daring greatly to unlock your creativity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAk4cwjvJ0A

This talk inspired the heck out of me and life really began to change! Vintage this, retro that, photos, floral work, meeting artists in my community (they sort of just appear in my life these days, photographers, mixed medium artists, etc), remembrance art...and writing heaps more. Yeah even got some lined up for a blog I started awhile ago. Different stuff - playing with fresh ideas and having a blast writing it.

Getting comfortable with the vulnerability of pushing outside comfort zones to create in various mediums and to write in stronger, and sometimes, sweeter voice(s). Moving into my vulnerability to really let my creativity out.

For anyone struggling with creativity, this talk is worth watching.

Brene rocks!

Wow Sally, even better!

Must admit that I saw that link too at the same time, but I was too lazy to listen to it. That's why I posted the short version.

When you linked it, I went oh grrrr, now I've got to watch it!

So I did and it was so totally worthwhile.

Yeah she doesn't hold back and Chase is an awesome interviewer. Whenever I feel I can't possibly have a creative bone in my body I try and watch this (or use the info she talks about) and the energy returns.

I love the way they discuss how unused creativity is dangerous and internalises and then projects out in some cruel stupid way. It's true. It does. For me, if I don't express my creativity I get very "in my head" and then things get really complicated.

The discussion about meaningful "work" coming from that place of almost total discomfort makes so much sense to me. The head and the heart and the hand go into a type of battle and it takes a lot of courage to just keep writing, painting, etc, and "give birth" to the work.
