Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Reignite Your Creativity

(Even If It’s Been Years)

Have you ever felt a quiet tug — a whisper that says there’s more waiting inside you to be expressed?

Maybe you haven’t picked up a paintbrush in decades (or ever), but lately, something’s stirring. A craving for color. A need to play. A desire to rediscover yourself in a new, more soulful way.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and I want you to know, it’s not too late.
In fact… now is the perfect time.

Creativity Has No Expiration Date

We live in a culture that tells us creativity belongs to the young. That unless you went to art school or have some sort of “natural talent,” you shouldn’t even bother. But that narrative is false — and harmful.

Creativity is not a talent, it’s a birthright.
It’s not about making perfect art. It’s about showing up for yourself in a way that invites joy, curiosity, and growth.  I believe your creativity is a divine gift.

Life Transitions Are Fertile Ground for Creative Growth

The truth is, many of us go through long stretches of life where we prioritize everything and everyone else — careers, family, responsibilities. But when a transition happens — whether it’s retirement, an empty nest, the loss of a loved one, or a simple shift in seasons — we’re given a powerful invitation:

To return to ourselves.
To listen in.
To create from a place that’s real and raw and beautifully imperfect.

These moments of change may feel uncertain at first, but they often hold the richest soil for creative reawakening.

The Power of Creative Play

You don’t need a studio. You don’t need expensive supplies. And you definitely don’t need permission.
You just need a willingness to begin — even if you’re not sure where it’s going.

That’s why I love mixed media art so much. It’s playful. Forgiving. Layered. Just like life.
And it’s the perfect medium for rediscovering your inner artist — without pressure or perfectionism.

You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

I created my program, The Creative Reawakening Path™, to help women in life transitions reconnect with their creative side in a gentle, supportive way.
Whether you’re brand new to art or returning after a long break, this space is for you.
