This is my first blog post and I already feel like I am back in high school writing an essay. Please bear with me as I figure out what it is I want to get out of this and what I think you (my lovely audience) want to see.

Ever since the pandemic started, more and more individuals have found their creative voice – we now have a wide range of bakers, artists, writers, singers, and dancers – individuals who used to work as corporate drones and decided to say no more!

So how do you fit in as an aspiring creator when it feels like there isn’t anything new you can contribute? To tell you the truth, I actually don’t know, so we’re going to figure that out together.

I’m hoping to use this blog for a variety of fun things – I don’t know about you, but I hate being stuck in a box where I only focus on one thing – so this blog will show you fun foods you can make, some interesting facts, an occasional look into my artistic endeavors, and maybe some occasional bad jokes. I’ll probably talk about my cat, Bean, and my bearded dragon, Draco, as they keep me company during the day, whether it be something funny that they did (Bean is quite the spaz sometimes) or how cute they look. I might mention my significant other, usually, he is quick with the dad jokes, but I won’t go on and on about how lucky I am to have him in my life (too much that is).

Anyways, back to the main goal of this first post, being creative in a world full of creatives. The best way to be creative is to just let all of your thoughts and ideas flow out – whether it be writing your quick inspirations down on a scrap piece of paper (talking to the queen of notepads here), whipping out your phone to record a thought or an inspiring piece of song, having a gazillion tabs open on your computer and phone (mine include recipes I want to try, jobs I should apply to, a makeshift todo list, exercises and fitness regimes I need motivation for… you get the picture), use whatever you have available to just create something. Don’t worry about making it a pretty first try, just get it out there! From brain to physical, you will be more likely to act upon it (and less likely to forget about it).

Okay, I’ve said what I wanted to say for this first post (and probably then some). Hopefully, you’re still with me and I didn’t bore you too much. And with that I’ll end with some catchphrase that will sure to change in time:

Stay frosty friends!
