Poetry is a very expressive, romantic form of art. And writing helps us release built up tension or things we hold inside. Start out with short stories and poems, and as time goes on and you become more comfortable and experienced, you can write longer pieces! You will be amazed by your own talent!

Music, especially classical music has a way of getting us to open up and relax. If you can't play and instrument, and have no desire to learn one, pick up a few CD's at your local library. Be adventurous and choose a type pf music you would never listen to on a regular basis. You might be suprised by how inspiring it can be!

I love to knit. I've taken on big and small projects alike! Knitting is a very creative process because you can pick and choose different colors and yarn textures to work with. Crotcheting is fun too, you can make beautiful little flowers and itty-bitty baby booties!
