"Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity." - Charles Mingus
November will be my busiest month for speaking. The best part of sharing my story are the people I meet at each talk and learning from the unique stories they share with me. One of the attendees from my talk last week sent me the above quote. I pride myself on being creative. Still never have I thought of simplicity linked with creativity before. After reading this idea, I am enthralled. Living simple is an art form. Living out simple meaningful moments is my intention. In the chaos of everyday, what can be more creative than that?
You are one of the most creative people I know! You know how to make the most simplest moments...meaningful! It takes an awesome amount of creativity to do that! Thanks for sharing them with us.

One of my favorite quotes... Mingus was the master of making simplicity out of the most complex Jazz Lines and it is/was truly awesome.
It makes so much sense in our lives... We are all creative, but are we creative enough to turn our complex lives into pure and simple lives?
