It seems that my “Word for the Year 2017” post was written yesterday… As Haruki Murakami says: “No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away.”
I guess it’s about time to reveal my Word for the Year 2018
“Creativity is intelligence having fun“… this is said to belong to Albert Einstein. I must admit that I do agree with his words.
You may ask yourself some questions about my choice?
What’s creativity for me? here are some reasons, pretty good ones in fact:
- it’s a state of mind
- it’s an approach
- it appeals curiosity
- it rings the bell of empathy
- it results into emotional opening
- it requires being more supportive
- it’s relaxing
- and the last two, but none the least : it allows sharing and communication (which are as you may know my best two words).
Why did I choose that word? : well… I am a member of an Art Group in which I found much understanding among the members, a strong friendship (even if for most of us, we never met in real life). I was really stunned by the skill and talent of all members, each one in her style, really amazing! Motivating isn’t it?
How will I put “Creativity” into practice… to be honest, that already started long time ago, since I have that photographing bug… in addition to that I have been experiencing mixed-media, doodling, collage, coloring… I thoroughly enjoy every minute of all that artwork. During the coming year, my target will be to improve, acquire more technique, new materials, find some methods of crafting with new tools, in fact explore other paths but staying in the same field…
Now, tell me… Have you a Word for the Year 2018? would love to hear about it…
As we are in the heart of the Holidays Season,
Merry Christmas! May 2018 bring you Creativity, Light and Joy!
I’m so excited to follow you on your creative journey for 2018. It’s a perfect word for you as you approach new techniques and challenges and make them your own. And your ‘reasons’ for creativity are spot on. Thank you for sharing, my friend.
Well, you are a type of a “booster” my Friend… thanks for your encouragements, they are precious!
I heartily agree with Lynne F. comment. Well said.
Thank you Louise for sharing your gifts, looking forward to more in all the years to come.
Oh that’s nice, love it… Thanks for stopping by ❤
Si beau…. merci ☺
Merci d’être passée, Eveline 😉
It is always nice to have goals and yours for 2018 sound super. It will be great to watch as you explore your creativity even more. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2018 Louise.
My 2017 word was “strength” and to be honest, I reached the goal. Now, I have to work hard to reach the 2018 one, but I will stay confident, slowly and surely, I “shall overcome” ;). Thank you for your visit, Val, I sincerely appreciate… Have a wonderful Christmas full of Light and Joy and a blessed 2018. Carry on your wonderful artwork…
Happy Creativity Louise. Best wishes for the holidays and 2018. I look forward to your work.
Thank you so much! Happy Holidays to you and all the best for 2018…
Murakami is full of wisdom. Bring on 2018!
Happy Holidays Season, Alex…
