Creativity as a lifeline
Join our monthly event tomorrow - upgrade your subscription for just $6 a month!
Until my late 20s, I told everyone I did not have a creative bone in my body. I believed that with every part of me. I did not grow up in a creative household. I didn’t fit in the mold of what I thought a creator was: photographer, painter, musician, writer, etc.
It wasn’t until I found out I had a wire piercing my brain stem and didn’t know if I would be spending the rest of my life in a bed that I started decorating my room in my house as a way to take my mind off how terrified I was of my surgery—and create a beautiful space to hold me in such a dark time.
Other people began telling me that I was creative, and it took me a while to catch up. What I didn’t know at the time this was alchemy—I was taking something so dark and scary in my life and creating beauty and a sanctuary for myself! That is creation! I obviously have a very different idea of creativity today, and yet I still have had many limiting beliefs about my creativity!
Tomorrow, I am doing a creativity workshop as my monthly offering for all my paying Substack members. I’m even more inspired after being at Elizabeth Gilbert’s creativity workshop over the weekend. I can’t wait to share a few nuggets that blew my mind. We will journal, we will move our bodies, and we will let ourselves be expressed—I can’t wait to play together, sweet friends!
Love love love,
Ruthie
