As children, we let our imaginations run wild. We created new games, unique ideas all without the feeling that we could be “right” or “wrong”. Unfortunately, over the years, our imaginations tend to slow down. We learn that we can be wrong (and often) and thinking outside the box, while good in theory, isn’t always the best option. We let our experiences turn us away...

I can’t stress enough how much I was shaped by the fact that my parents encouraged my creativity and random ideas. They never put “crazy” ideas down, and unless it would have been hurtful to try, they pretty much let me try any business idea I wanted to. It is because of this, that anytime I can help a child’s creativity grow, I am happy...

Remember the first day of school? Your teacher would go around the room and have everyone introduce themselves and tell the group something about them?

Creativity. There are two kinds of creativity. There is the creativity that you need to fill your bucket, the one that is what you use to get work done. This is the kind I talked about a few weeks ago. That kind can run out for anyone, even the most creative can reach that breaking point. This is the creativity it takes to do good work,...
…where they just need to stop, regroup and clear their head before attempting anything else. Today, I have been feeling broken, out of sorts and definitely not creative. So I was reading though old blog posts to try and stir some thought processes. I found a post that I wrote last year about reaching my creative breaking point while working on some coding. After...
I am not a creative snob, I don’t think it is reserved to one area of life. I love it in almost every form, the only thing I ask in creativity is that it is easily accessible to the masses. I want the world to be able to see it (even if they can’t afford to own it). I also tend to find certain pieces,...
Unless you’ve been away from your computer and on a beach in Hawaii for the last week, you’ve probably seen a tweet or two showing how poorly Southern California handles “weather”. It’s true, us Southern Californian’s are pretty pathetic when it comes to wet and windy. We are avoiding the roads, staying inside, and have been complaining about how awful all this wind/rain/etc is for...
