Envisioning Possibilities
Creativity
Creativity involves generating new ideas, solutions, or original and valuable approaches.

Another thought is to Engage in activities you’ve never tried, such as
pottery, woodworking, photography, dance or tubing. Ziplining – a gift from my daughter for my 75th birthday.

Visit places that are not typical tourist destinations. Experiencing unique environments can spark new ideas. I love going to the pancake breakfasts or spaghetti dinners of other communities. I learned who the NFPs are and how they are fundraising for their love.
Join me July 23 and July 30 for Envisioning Possibilities – evening 6 – 7:30.
