Creative Community
In a Creative Community, choose a positive direction...
A creative community inspires, accepts, nurtures and acknowledges its participants.
The members of a creative community innovate, collaborate, cooperate, communicate, initiate and...create.
From young to old, celebrating diversity, and recognizing a variety of creative expressions, a creative community provides excitement, motivation, and support.
A creative community is:
- curious
- collaborative
- committed
- resilient
- courageous
- productive
We live in a creative community...
I imagine that an inspired thought, that creates a good vibration, spreads. So, in our Creative Community, meme creation....
Our creative community is always ready for authentic change in positive directions!
- Check out Experience Nicola Valley, a blog site all about the people, the creativity, the service, and the adventures in our community. I write an Arts and Culture blog on this collaborative site!
- Keep tabs on some things happening here in Merritt, BC, Canada on my Facebook page, Creative Community.
- Get out and shop local! Keep an eye on my FB page Creative Community Shop.
- Enjoy local live music weekly at our Open Mic at Kekuli Cafe! (Soon again I hope!)
OMG Covid, forest fires, river floods... A creative community adjusts.
Our latest art shows at the Nicola Valley Arts Centre Gallery...
I'm the art gallery curator, and think up the shows with my friends and colleagues...
We focus on our local artists and encourage a variety of creativity.
I am on my 65th show, and planning two years ahead.
Soon we will reach beyond our valley to regions around us.
Creative artists and artisans everywhere.

Most pages here on Meme Dreams are compiled from several different sites I've created over the years. All pulled together here, in various stages.
The most recent page is "Mischief", a journal of mood and music as I make my way through a grief journey. Missing loved ones. Especially G.
I love ya.
I wanna get down...

In psychology, there are two popular conceptions of happiness: hedonic and eudaimonic.
Hedonic happiness is achieved through experiences of pleasure and enjoyment,
while eudaimonic happiness is achieved through experiences of meaning and purpose.
That's a little simplified :) but a useful distinction.
Not pursuing happiness as in waiting, creating it as in now.
Talisman stories...
A greeting card with this quote, found early, followed me through the years. Chosen as a guiding principle. Lifelong...
For me, there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length - and there I travel looking, looking breathlessly.
Carlos Castaneda, The Teachings of Don Jaun: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge
Oh ya? You've done that? Well...kind of. In a relaxed kind of traverse. That counts?
