The above is an art project I was doing with my grandson. He got bored and quit, I didn’t. I love “painting” with paper.

What to Put On Your Life’s Canvas?
We Co-Create Life – An Epiphany
The sun was bright, and there was a slight nip in the air as I walked the streets of Walnut Creek toward the BART train station. The year was 1981, although I remember it like it was yesterday. 
This particular day, when I arrived on a BART train platform, I experienced an unforgettable aha moment. I felt a profound “knowing” in my bones: the realization that we co-create everything with God, known by many names. I felt nothing was divisible. We are all one universal consciousness, and creativity is part of our spiritual DNA. 
Our life’s canvas was formed unconsciously, “painted” from experiences and beliefs we learned as children. Every day we have the opportunity to consciously re-create what goes on our canvas. 
When you wake up in the morning, imagine your canvas blank. 

What do you want to create for your day? What makes you feel happy, grounded, and creative? Who do you hang out with that gets you…and you get them? Paint your masterpiece with the energy that feeds you and weed out activities and people that drain you. 

Where you focus your attention is where your energy flows. By concentrating on the positive and constructive aspects of life, you can direct your journey toward personal growth, learning, and nurturing meaningful relationships. Prioritizing goals that align with your values and passions is key, as these are the colors that will add vibrancy to your life’s canvas.
The day I had the epiphany that I co-created my life is the day I broke free of the chains of perfectionism, doubt and overthinking everything. I went on a deep dive to explore my creative being and never looked back. 
Ultimately, you hold the brush to your life’s canvas.
Empower yourself with the knowledge that your choices and actions can create a fulfilling and meaningful life. You have the ability to transform your life into a masterpiece that reflects your radiant, soulful, aligned self. 

1  Practice to Tune into Your Body
When you think of trying a new color or stroke on your canvas and feel stuck, tune into your body and find where you’re holding resistance. Breathe in the word…LET and Breathe out the word GO.

2 Shifts to Observe the Mind…with curiosity and an open heart.
Spend 10 minutes writing in a journal. Start with the prompt: “If I could paint the canvas of my life anew, what would it include?” Write without stopping to edit or judge your thoughts.
Let your imagination wander and think about what attracts you….a certain kind of music, learning a new skill, writing. Have you always wanted to sky dive…the sky is the limit. Try incorporating a new thing that excites you into your life.

3 Quotes and a Question to Awaken the Soul
“Life is a blank canvas and you need to throw all the paint on it you can.”   – Danny Kaye
“Creativity is the way I share my soul with the world.”                                 – Brene Brown
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”                        – Mary Lou Cook

And drumroll…the Question
Can you give yourself the leisure time, even five minutes a day, to imagine the people, places, or things you want to create in your life’s masterpiece? 

There is a saying…nothing changes, nothing changes. Changes begin in our creative imagination. Let your mind wander and run wild.
