Sometimes you just have to do something whimsical. I spent a while tonight getting the lighting and the set up just right for this fun shot of an eyeball ring, a gift given to one of my partners today. In younger years, I don’t think I would have done this little project. I might have felt it a waste of time. But I am learning that moments of fun and creativity do a lot to lift the spirit. Taking time to be creative, even if capricious, is an important part of nurturing the soul. 

President Uchtdorf recently shared some very interesting insights regarding the abilily of all of us to create. He also explained that the creative process is important for you and for me. Click the link below for a short video of his remarks.

In the past I did not consider myself a creative, but in recent years I am finding creativity within me that I never knew existed. I find it uplifting to be part of the creative process.
