The Creative's Hands
My passion for creating is exciting. I love creating new chords and melodies that speak so beautifully. When I am in my creative space, it overwhelms me and inspires me to create above and beyond. This passion has moved me through the most difficult moments and has propelled me into the most amazing years of my life. Sitting down to play is like a kid indulging in their favorite ice cream shop, or a baker baking the most scrumptious and delicious cake. I take pride in the precision, the accuracy and the development of it all. It sustains me. It moves me to grow even more. My hands on the keys ignites a fire that has not been extinguished. It amazes me to see the next place it will take me to. I am so humbled by this gift of passionate piano playing. I am so grateful for this gift of love and am so excited to share it with the world. Each note awakens my most inner space. Each melody awakens me to a world of beauty, excitement, and melodious pathways that lead me right into a song. A song that touches hearts, minds, and enters the soul. What a beautiful and powerful place of the hands. How could my hands create this? It keeps me in awe. I wonder how do my hands move with these keys that have given myself and others so much life? It moves me to see what is going to be discovered and created next? What will it sound like? This new song is waiting to be composed and looking to be discovered. This passion takes over and makes my fingers move in a way that only the melody residing in a place in my mind can take me. When my mind and fingers are in agreement, the keys and melodies on the piano speak back in agreement. I nurture what these melodies and chords are creating. The music it creates has all the love in the world. It is caressed like a new born baby and nurtured to develop into a mature mode of musicality and creative imagination. What the world hears from these hands moves nations. O, what a joyous moment. When the lyrics and the music form to become one. They make this most beautiful baby. O how I love these creative hands. I only wish to stay in this creative space and make these musical expressions come alive and partner with some of the most amazing vocalists and artists in the world. Continue to teach me hands, continue to guide me hands, continue to make music that guides us into the next moment of joy and peace. O how these hands move through the each stage of creativity, that influences and moves and shakes. O how I love thee. Every thing about you has moved me. Your progressions and how you move makes the melodies come alive. The notes I feel through you are so intense. They are so innovative. I see how the emotions of the chords just take over. Giving me a feeling I have never felt before. It is so beautiful to hear the harmonies and the dynamics. Dynamically speaking, when I move these hands to play, the message comes out so clear. I hear and feel every note. It excites me because I know that I am communicating exactly what I intended. It moves me to know that this is part of a bigger song. My legacy is being created, developed, and shaped, right through these hands. These hands are so valuable. They are precious beyond measure. I am grateful to have them. I am grateful that they know exactly where and how to move. They calm the most disturbed sea. They move like a ballerina and her dance. Softly, effortlessly, with a flow to the rhythm. In a beautiful dance between melody and lyrics. You have given me the keys to life. Thank you creative hands.

Sew happy!
“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use it, the more you have.” Spoken so eloquently by Maya Angelou and carried out daily by me. There is still some mystery about the amount of passion I have for creating things from scratch. I first started sewing when I was young and my grandmother taught me. There is a tiny stuffed turtle that still sits on my self as the very first thing I ever did. And even then, I remember deviating from the pattern and making it my own. That sense of individuality and ability to make it my own has stuck with me through all of my creative processes. There is no discrimination when it comes to creating something. I love making my own cards, painting, woodwork, cross-stitch, baking and jewelry making.

“Carte Blanche” or the Art of Pressing Reset on the Story of Our Lives
Artists are the voices of those who don’t have one or choose not to own it. Even when an artist reflects on their own story, they do so in such a way that it resonates with us — it inspires, shocks, entertains, or teaches us. That’s the ultimate purpose, anyway.

Passionately Creative
Thinking about what my number one passion would be is hard for me. I have so many things that I love doing and that just make my heart smile. I would almost say that my passion would be writing, because I’m a soon-to-be author and also a for-fun musician that writes both the melodies and the lyrics. But there’s just something else that makes that not sound right, so I had to do some thinking before I came to my final conclusion.

"Somewhere over the rainbow is a land where the dreams you dare to dream do come true. "- Wizard of Oz Born an artist, from as far back as I can remember I have been creative. Often my school assignments would be covered in pictures with a teacher never needing to find my name because the work stuck out like a sore thumb. In most classes this was almost like a deal we would make with each other, me and the teacher that is. Focusing on anything that was not project orientated was like reeling in a fish with a line that wasn't strong enough, a difficult task for even the most experienced teacher. So being able to draw at the same time as listening was very helpful. This was a deal mostly made in math classes because I could find the art in almost any other. Yes graphs and geometry can be made beautiful, truly anything can be but in science, social studies, English, AT, Cultural arts, etcetera, it was much easier to find.
