Random acts of Creativity

"Random acts of creativity" always make me smile when I stumble across them! These fun shoes made me want to go home and paint my five inch high heels, Oh wait.... I mean my flip-flops

Permission to Speak

I find it fascinating how easily people can come up with a list of their "negatives" but truly struggle to identify their "positives".

On a sheet of black construction paper, using oil pastels, I was instructed to quickly write three positive things a good friend would say about me. This was a great way to "free-up" new students. It created a relaxed atmosphere in which we had permission to express ourselves more authentically, especially since these were not OUR words, but those of a good friend. Nobody could be accused of being boastful or presumptuous.
