A NEW MAN IN MY LIFE

October 29, 2010 | 5 comments

I have never been in love with a man who required extra care, being fed special meals several times a day, required being watched 24/7 and YEE GADS….. the need to be potty trained !!!!!

I am not normally drawn to a man with lots of hair or one who is rather pudgy.

But this one is different.

His name is Wilson.


You are asking……what does a puppy have to do with creativity? Plenty!

Puppies, kittens, babies of any kind teach us to be new.

To be new we must be willing to be clumsy as being clumsy means you are exploring and never on solid footing.

Being new means never having to apologize for being different, creative, or failing.

Being new gives permission to rest and dream.

Being new presents a life without judgment.

Being new is curiosity in full bloom

Being new allows laughter to come from deep within your belly.

Being new says it’s alright to cry.

Being new invites quiet.

Being new is pure love.

Perhaps we should spend an hour each day “being new” !

Just think how much our creativity would grow!

What is “being new” to YOU?
