Get to work and discover just how creative you can be and where it can lead you.A Year of Creativity gives you the tools to tap into your inner creativity and see where it can take you. The daily activities, exercises, and/or assignments are all meant to make you think about something you might not ordinarily view in a creative or inspirational way, while touching your senses, feelings, inspirations, memories, and aspirations. These activities invite you to use your imagination and create your own ideas, situations, dreams, adventures, exercises, answers, and responses that can even translate into your personal and work life.
