Maureen said… - Hi Nita,
It is so good to be your friend -- thanks for the invite. I am so glad that you are here at CCS. Your "creative moment" and "creative dream" are beautiful ... that you are "forever creating each and every day," "the small are just as special as the great," and that you dream "to begin the day by doing something creative and let the day flow from there..." wow! How insightful. I am learning from you :-). Thank you, and I hope your morning is brighter ...

Beverly said… - Welcome Nita,
Yes, I can just feel the creative passion in the words you write above. I am an artist, photographer, writer who loves expressionism, bold colors, fantasy and surrealism so we have some things in common. I too what to create art and writings that will inspire and "heal" others when I share it. I am in Vein of Gold and Poetry right now so maybe I'll see you there. Peek at my blog marlotus-says when you get a chance. Would love your thoughts!
