  Happy Rainy Saturday!
  
  Sorry about the dropping of Deborah's call 1/2 through!  We have some nasty storms coming through Milwaukee right now...at least we got her back!!
  
  Today we discussed CREATIVITY and how to bring MORE creativity into our lives.  If you remember, the CREATIVITY area of the Bagua Board in located on the RIGHT handside and is the center piece of the Bagua.  This is the area you want to work on to bring more creeativity into your life.  This area is activated by the color WHITE, the METAL element and by the shape of a CIRCLE.  Also, anything that you've made, or your kids have made, is perfect to display in this area.  This is also a great place to practice your creativity as well-either an art studio, or desk to write, chair to journal or place for your computer to Photoshop and print your pictures!  (We talk more about this in a few weeks with Gretchen Powers!).
  
  Our guest today, Deborah Lighthart, artist and founder of the Feronia Wellness Retreat/Institute, shared some of her inspiration for her art.  Deborah is also a psychic and uses that energy/intuition to help her create freely.  You can check out Deborah's art at www.deborahlighthart.com.  It is really beautiful!
  
  When Deborah is working with a client, she stated the biggest hurdle most have to get over when "trying to be creative" is SELF JUDGEMENT.  That inner critic that stops you before you even start a project by telling you you "aren't good enough"..."who do you think you are Steven Spielberg?"...or "you can't sell THAT..why even bother."  And so you don't.  Who cares?  You are creating for you!  And, you might find out that you really DO have a gift for photography, scrapbooking, writing...or, you might not.  I found out that I really stink at pottery...but at least I tried!  It cost me $80, 5 weeks of classes, and some pottery that looks like a 7 yr old made it (yes, my brother actually said that to me!)...BUT I had fun, got rid of a lot of stress and tried!  (remember our "coulda, woulda, shoulda" episode?  If not, go back and listen!).
  
  If you find yourself stuck or in a rut when you are trying to, or have started a creative endeavor..Deborah suggested you DANCE!  Turn the music up loud and just start dancing It will open up blocked energy channels and get the blood flowing...A Feng Shui teacher also told me that as a way to get "psyched" to start de-cluttering...you couldn't helped to be pumped up after listening to some latin salsa music!  Go for it!
  
  So there you go, there is no excuse to not at least try something new...even if it's a new flavor of coffee, taking a different turn to get to work...just try it!  You may find out that you don't actually like doing something as much as you thought you would, or that you really do stink at it...OR you may find a hidden talent that's been waiting to be found...You'll never know unless you TRY!
  
  Until next time...Happy Feng Shui-ing.....
