Is Creativity Your Thing?

By Jessica Albon

The biggest theme in the emails I received about embracing strangers over dinner was how ready so many of you felt to give up blocks to your creativity, how eager you are to genuinely step up and step into what you are here to create. And that was awesome!

To me, there are few words more powerful than those written when we’re 100% ready to bring our message, our meaning, our purpose out into the light of day after keeping it hidden for so long, and I appreciated being entrusted with every single one of your emails. Thank you!

I just finished watching an inspiring video over on Marie Forleo’s blog (thank you, Marie!) and it really speaks to the conversation we had last week. It’s all about how we view creativity and art and how, perhaps, it’s time to stop pairing up artist and art in quite the way we’ve been doing (and why that pairing might just be a bigger block to your creativity than you’d think). I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

So, what’s your thing?

And, semi-related, Naomi’s post on what your *thing* is has become a rich conversation that you might enjoy after watching Elizabeth Gilbert’s TED video.
