Creating Sparks That Last & All Things Relationships

Own It! I’ve discovered a new way of doing what I love. Creativity streaks, or sprints, are the go! Have you ever challenged yourself to a creativity streak? Bam! Brave act right there. Not brave as in heroically fight a bear, but brave as in step out of your comfort zone kind of brave, and not onto a bindi either— or maybe that is brave; kind of like a giant leap of faith but stepping into something risky. No I’m kidding, don’t go stepping onto any bindi’s or into any risks! But you know, sometimes you’ve got to take a chance on yourself— so let’s say calculated risks potentially.
