Flow and how to get it

October 5, 2017 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

I have already written a post on Flow – but it is such a fascinating topic! “The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.” … [Read more…]

Creative Confidence

June 17, 2017 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

When you have creative confidence, you know how to strike that balance between uncertainty, false starts and mistakes. You know that is all just a part of the process. All of us are born creative.
