Sparks

“A spark is a little thing,
yet it may kindle the world.”

— Martin Farquhar Tupper

“Never forget
the essence of your spark!”

— Taylor Swift

“Imagination is the spark
that ignites the fire of creativity.”

— Richard L. Peterson

Today’s MotD inspires us to spark our creativity. When we say creative, we mean more than just making art. It applies to everything in our lives: how we live, how we work, how we play, how we interact with each other, how we do day-to-day tasks and activities. So why spark our creativity?From the National Youth Council of Ireland they offer a long list of reasons. Here are just a few:

  • Creativity is fun and joyful and surprising.
  • Creativity keeps the mind active.
  • Creativity engages different learning styles.
  • Creativity allows us to view and solve problems more openly and with innovation.
  • Creativity opens the mind.
  • Creativity inspires collective thinking.
  • Creativity nurtures ideas.

Now that we know why, here are some of the 23 ways to spark our creativity (from Career Coach Jenny Garrett):

  1. Put away your digital devices
  2. Be inspired by Nature
  3. Change your Routine
  4. Try Mind Mapping
  5. Daydream
  6. Take a Shower
  7. Sleep on it
  8. Ask a Child
  9. 5-minute Art
  10. Ask Why?

Of course, The Mandala Lady would encourage us to color mandalas as a way to spark our creativity. Visit the MandalaoftheMonth.com for free mandalas to download and color.

“When sparks fly,
some truly great ideas
come to light.”

— David Heinemeier Hansson

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
