Allowing the Unfoldment

The creative process is something we all go through. Whether we are writing a book, creating a business, or starting a new adventure... the process we go through to create this new thing in our lives is probably about as different as our DNA and yet as similar as drawing a breath.

It was most likely a time of liberation and fun! Now your child gets that same exhilarating feeling! So if we're happy for our kid and

This is a simple question, and I'll prove the answer right now. Think of something that makes you happy. Think of something that makes you angry. Think of something that makes you sad.
