We are all creative.

That does not mean we are all artists, musicians, craftsmen, and designers. At least, not in a common meaning. But we are all creative in some manner, and that is important.

Me?

I’m a darn good cook and brewer of beer. I’m a pretty creative nurse educator and getting better at podcasting. My wife is awesome and can design her own clothes, create artwork and decorate a home on a budget.

Everyone has some area of creativity. It’s important to acknowledge that, nurture that, and then use it to enjoy life!

An apology for the sound quality of my voice. I’ve been battling a nasty upper respiratory virus since November 10, and it is just now easing. For about a week, I had essentially no voice at all, so what you are hearing represents a major victory over the virus.
