Hi Muse-scriber,
The past is more than that to the creative seeker who flies high in focus, follow-through, and joy. The past is a place to revisit moments that can now fuel the present.
Conjuring up regret and other ways to torment the self is only creative if it is channeled into poetry, a fictional character, a memoir, or a performance art piece where you stick a fork in your forehead. [don't try that at home or really, anywhere].
Summoning the positive, fills the creative soul and makes the confidence, fuel, and energy for the creative process possible. The child-like spirit inside of us so responsible for creativity
If you're not into self-saboatage, play for a moment with these questions.. [and for those with ADD that means, ask a question, and allow yourself to breathe 3 inhales and exhales (inspirations and expressions).. and THEN move on to the next question.]
Allow your subconscious to get a grip on the inquiry ... because once it does it will percolate a robust cup of well brewed answers... ones that caffeinate your confidence:
- what creative successes have I had?
- where did I get it right?
- what am I glad I did in my life?
- what worked for me when I felt like I was creatively successful?
- how did I make it through blocks?
- what rewards have worked for me?
- what shoes go with my creative attitude?
- how's that feel to ask those questions in March?
Now that we looked backwards, join me on a call this Thursday about Looking Forward to How Creativity Can Unfold with Age! Sign-up here. (These calls fill fast).
"Some of the most powerful works of art have been produced by older Americans by hands that have engaged in years of hard work, eyes that have witnessed decades of change, and hearts that have felt a lifetime of emotions." -- Hillary Rodham Clinton

Isabel Allende said “Write what should not be forgotten.”
Write a list of what should not be forgotten in your life: people, experiences, pets, sensations, moments, things, whatever comes to your mind even if it makes no sense.Weave your list together like tapestry.. or pick one of those things and write prose, poetry, essay or dialog.
Make a commitment to getting your writing done. Join The Writing Club for 2 writing prompts a week, a deadline, a forum of support and tips, your writing published, and the excahnge of money that gee, magically makes people more committed.
