Be The Change

Why not give yourself permission to let your creative side have a little fun? Arrange some rocks in your front yard. Hang a picture on your front porch. Look around your house, closets, basement, garage and put something together to sit on a table or sideboard, or hang on a wall. The possibilities are really endless, once you give yourself permission to surprise yourself.
