The Lifelong Journey of Creation: From Childhood to Retirement
​In every stage of life, the act of creating plays a crucial role in fostering personal growth, well-being, and a sense of fulfillment. Whether you're a child exploring the wonders of imagination or a retiree embracing newfound leisure, the importance of creating remains constant. From our kid camps to our classes at assisted living facility we know the significance of creativity at each life stage contributes to a rich and fulfilling existence.

Childhood:
Nurturing Imagination and LearningIn the early years, children naturally gravitate towards creativity. Encouraging artistic expression through activities like drawing, painting, and storytelling not only fuels their imagination but also lays the foundation for essential cognitive skills. Our kid art camps create a safe and encouraging space to help kids thrive. 

Adolescence:
Self-Discovery Through Artistic ExpressionAs individuals navigate the challenges of adolescence, creativity becomes a powerful outlet for self-expression. Whether it's writing, music, or visual arts, engaging in creative endeavors helps teenagers discover their identity and cope with the complexities of growing up.  Many of our classes are open for teens. We encourage parents to bring their teens and treat the classes as a time to bond over creating.

Adulthood:
Balancing Work and Passion ProjectsAmidst the responsibilities of adulthood, it's vital to carve out time for creative pursuits. Whether it's a side hustle, a hobby, or a passion project, creating allows adults to maintain a healthy work-life balance and cultivate a sense of purpose beyond their professional obligations. We believe our classes can help with this by bringing creativity and community together.

Midlife:
Renewal and RediscoveryAs individuals reach midlife, the need for renewal and rediscovery becomes apparent. Engaging in creative activities can be a rejuvenating experience, providing an outlet for stress relief and a means to explore new interests. Whether you’re in the chaos of parenting and just needing a break to recharge or you’re an empty nester trying to rediscover who you are we feel embracing activities outside of your comfort zone to be beneficial.

Retirement:
Embracing Leisure and Artistic PursuitsRetirement marks a new chapter of freedom and leisure. Creative activities during this stage not only offer a fulfilling way to spend time but also contribute to mental well-being. From painting to writing, retirees can explore a variety of artistic pursuits to stay mentally active and socially connected. Staying connected after leaving your work family is important and we help connect you to others.

A Lifelong Journey of CreativityIn conclusion, the journey of creation is a lifelong endeavor that contributes to personal development, mental well-being, and a sense of purpose. Regardless of age, embracing creativity enriches our lives, fostering continuous growth and satisfaction.

By acknowledging and promoting creativity at every life stage, we can ensure a fulfilling and well-rounded existence. So, whether you're guiding a child's first steps into the world of art or exploring your creative side in retirement, remember that the act of creating is a timeless and invaluable pursuit.

Self Love vs Self Care

Are you confused about if there is a difference in Self Care (a word everyone is throwing around) and Self Love?  Self Love is our theme for February.  

Above is a clip from my IGTV, where I talk with Lori Gaylor, MS LPC about this and more.  

I have strong feelings that they are very different.  Self Care to me is getting your hair done, getting a facial, going for a massage, making that doctor appointment you have been putting off.  

Self Love is what comes from within and is what encourages you that you are worth doing the above things for yourself without guilt, or at least with less guilt.  

I also feel like there is a difference in Self Respect and Self Love.  For example, I think someone like Kim Kardashian for sure has self love, does plenty of self care, but I'd question if she has self respect.  I think anyone can have self love, it doesn't require being a good person.  Self respect requires character, which requires awareness and some people either choose to not be aware of their actions or they just don't care.  It is also hard to have self respect if you don't respect others, laws, etc. 

It would be hard for a criminal to possess self respect when they don't respect laws, the people their actions affect, but it is certainly possible for them to love themselves in their unawareness.  

Join me on Thursday, January 11 at 2pm Eastern (or anytime after for the replay) as we continue our discussions on Self Love and this week our topic is Friendships.  I will be talking with my BFF for over 25 years.  

Do you need more self love, self care, or self respect in your life?  You may even need more of all three.  Leave any questions below.
