The
Creative Woman Creed
Art &
Verse
|
My ideas are worth exploring
and my creative
acts are sacred,
worthwhile
and valuable.
I answer
the call to create,
without
feeling I am taking anything away
from
something or someone.
I know
that I have something to say and create
that is only mine to express,
and so it
is original.
I
surrender the idea that my works of art
must be
pretty, good or saleable,
and let
them be what they want to be.
I
consider the practice of creativity
equal to
other practices like prayer or meditation
or
exercise and I make time for it.
I share
my creations only
when I
feel supported to do so,
not needing or seeking acknowledgement from others.
I release
myself from the need
to feel
inspired before I begin, trusting
that
everything I need to create will be provided.
I allow
myself to release
the critic and perfectionist, with love
and
invite the muse to come to my side.
I accept
the healing energy that comes
from my
creative acts, I remind myself that
it is OK,
to not know, what I am doing,
Creativity
is a journey,
and I honor that journey with my time,
my
resources and my heart.
I am
gentle with myself
when I
haven’t taken the time to create,
~ I will
begin again.
I give
myself permission to be messy, loud,
irreverent
at times, and at others
to be quiet, orderly, mindful and to feel blessed.
I feel
worthy of the title, Artist,
just
because I create,
regardless
of what I create, or what the outcome is.
I am free
to think my own thoughts,
to have
my own visions
I also
gather nourishment from those around me.
I feel
that my life is a great adventure
always
looking for my YES,
that is my own journey holds the makings of personal legend!
I believe
in intentional creativity;
that the
love I put into my work
goes out
as a blessing toward my intention.
I am a
creative being, not a creative doing,
and
sometimes being creative is allowing myself
to ‘do
nothing’ except the act of dreaming.
I believe
that every bone in my body
is a
creative bone
that my
life is a miracle in process
and that
I am a creative being.
