Simon Says; He Can't Stay Angry

From: "Britains Got Talent * 6 Year Old Connie WOWs Simon Cowell !!!"
This little girl really nails it with "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and
if you are at all sentimental (like me), watching this might bring a little
tear to your eye.

Now That's Creative!

I stumbled on this in "Trendhunter" magazine. Fashion designer Hussein Chalayan transforms dresses again. Last October, Trend Hunter featured designer Hussein Chalayan’s transformer dresses. The dresses, which literally transform on the catwalk, are quite miraculous to watch. They even change colour! Check out the video, and be sure to take a look at how his line has evolved from last year’s collection.

Mild warning. There is a bit of nudity at the end but it's not distasteful.

Childlike Creativity...Never Lose It

It is my observation that we are all inherently creative souls but that we tend to become less creative as we get older.

If we observe children they are very creative and have a youthful and unrestrained creativity that is free from concern about what others might think.

They allow their imaginations free rein in their play and their drawing, coloring and singing and dancing.

They set no limitations on their imaginations.

They plan exciting futures full of fun, excitement and thrills without a second thought about why they might not be able to achieve these things.

It is only as we get older and are told that it is not practical to think this way that we begin to lose our enthusiasm and thus, we use our creativity less and less.

I have always tried to encourage my two children to remain creative and never lose that childlike enthusiasm.

So far it seems to be working.

If you have found that you have lost the passion you once had for drawing or singing or playing or dancing or whatever is fun...then I suggest you schedule some time (perhaps today) and just enjoy yourself.

Let us never lose our childlike creativity.
