Vacation {Days 30 & 31}

"Creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives...most of the things that are interesting, important, and human are the results of creativity...when we are involved in it, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life."  -Mihaly Csikszenthihalyi

A little over a month ago I had this idea for 31 Days. Not only did I want to share an idea with you everyday to spark your interest in writing, creating or just "being"...but I wanted to challenge myself to do those things as well.

I hope I have succeeded.

This Challenge for me has been extremely energizing and exactly what I needed to kick my creative self into high gear.

"There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation."  -Henri Bergson

If you finished the Challenge, participated in the Challenge, wrote down the Challenges...please send me an e-mail with your address. I have a sweet, little book I created for you!!!  E-mail me @    leslieackman@yahoo.com

Creative Challenge Days # 30 & 31: Take time over the next 2 days and list all things creative you accomplished during the Challenge. Finish up any projects you started, too. Congratulations on finishing!! Be sure and let me know if you participated in the Challenge by sending me a message with your address!! I have a surprise for you;)




Girls, I am out of here for the next 7 days. My family and I leave for Washington D.C. Tuesday morning. We are looking forward to our trip of a lifetime!!!

I will be back next week. So much creative stuff coming your way in the next few months...excited!!!!

    I have just signed up to follow you and cannot wait to delve headfirst into your blog! Your challenge might just be the fresh infusion of creative energy I'm seeking right now!

    I am really looking forward to getting to know you, and invite you to join me at Create With Joy as well!

  5. dear Leslie-I received your message on FB the other day and thanks of thinking of me while on your trip. I hope you weren't texting and driving though!!! Hope you had a great and safe trip and we will chat when you get back. Oh...not so happy right now Leslie-a little stressed over here. I still have not ordered my printer! I have been researching it for well over a month and have to just make up my mind already!! I am supposed to have it all set up by now:(
