"After somewhere in the vicinity of 40 years in the counseling profession, I looked forward to retirement, and having all the time I could possibly want to make art, play my (neglected) musical instruments, and maybe even write a children's book. My husband and I wanted to travel, both domestically, as we had always done, and abroad. We were very fortunate to enjoy almost two weeks in Paris in 2019, his retirement gift to me.

"And then came COVID, and with it, the changes with which we are all much too familiar. We lost my dear 91 year old mom, and we grieved and missed her dearly, and still do. Not a day goes by that I am not grateful for all the years during my childhood that she carted me to flute lessons she somehow figured out how to afford, and the much more recent years when she encouraged me to paint, marveling as if my efforts were headed for the Louvre instead of the walls of my home studio.

And now, with the renewed hope, spring, energy, and yes, creativity that seems to be sprouting up all around me, I am doing what I have always intended to do when I "grew up," which I figure ought to be any time now. With the Creativity Project, I invite creatives into this world of making and doing things in new ways, ways that satisfy us, and ways that make the created world around us a stronger, better place, whether we know it or not. "
