Passion's Dance


"This is a BOOTCAMP-not a day spa." ~Holly Becker

 I have a list to chose from what to blog about!  Yes, the dreaded word-homework~


"Why are you passionate about_______________?" 

 My answer is being creative!  

 I compare being creative, to bees making honey. You see gorgeous Cherry Blossoms(Magic Sponge Box)- you get excited. YOU start gathering ideas. YOU describe your excitement, to your hive! They look at you like you are a Zombie!   YOU have to make it, so people can see.

 Your head is buzzing with ideas.  What if I do this or that?   You create it. Sometimes it comes out sweet. You wonder could this honey=money.  Maybe your hive will get it, if you make money!  You share it with your online hive-they get you~  They like it!  You mail it to a magazine and hope the publishing hive gets it!   It is a trade honey to money, but your honey may not be what they are looking for right now.  

 *My Magic Sponge Box






Sometimes, When I create, it is like facets of memories dancing. Think of a glorious blue day, with puffy clouds in the sky.  The idea is the kite, it swirls, dips and taunts you. You try to keep the kite flying, before the idea disappears.

But really WHY?  For me, it is about childhood memories. My Mom n' Dad  were both creative. This allows me to be with my memories, dance and be young n' carefree. I  can  enJOY the process of playing with color, ideas, glue and anything that grabs my attention. Today the world is fast, creating gives me a chance to slow down, catch my breath and be reminded of the colorful  palette life has to offer~

What are you passionate about?   Is your kite floating or caught in a tree?  We all get caught in trees, sometimes.  Do your ideas dance and hum like Honey bees?  Go catch them....

Yes! Being creative! Flying the kite and hoping to find others who'll stop and look and say, "Hey! I like that!" or "That makes me happy!"

Ahh, here's to dancing, honeybee ideas~ :o) <3 555

Creativity and passion go hand in hand!!!
Mary said…
I am passionate about writing poetry! Other creative things too....but right now that is my main passion! You are diverse in your creativity, Ella.
DEZMOND said…
great answer, mine would be the same, creativity is the essence of life :)
Tamara said…
I couldn't live without a creative outlet. Before I started writing, it was crafts. Sculpting. Painting. Writing poetry. It's always been something. I don't understand people who have no urge to create. Great post! :)

Ella dear, you've always got me 'buzzing' with creativity. :-) Seriously, I come to your blog just to get energized. You have so many gifts. I love it, truly.
Hi Ella - creativity of thought is one thing ... so much can happen, so much does happen; I'd love to be artistic .. paint with words, draw descriptions .... and dream of what can be ... yet creatively work towards that goal ..

My ideas dance and hum like honey bees ... I'm caught up in them ... now to release them ...

Love the post and enjoyment you've got writing this ... and how wonderful your parents were so creative .. their inspiration has been passed on ...

Cheers Hilary

All your creativity has inspired me to learn how to do textures on my photographs. Thanks for the spark!

Hey,
I really liked your post! I think that the written out list of alternatives is really complimenting the Dance's passion that you have in the article.
I also love to dance and I have a dance academy in Anderson, USA.
when I have started it I don't have any funds for it. That time I am taking Commercial Title Loans and now my dance academy is a really good role play in my passionate dance life
