Creativity

Tonight was the Regional Reflections Awards ceremony, and it was fun because I didn't have to be in charge. I was just the State lady who got to come up on stage and hand out 5 awards, one of which was to Caley's little brother, so that was particularly fun. It got me thinking about the things which have been created by my 6 children over the years for the Reflections contest. It began with Adam in Kindergarten in West Jordan, and a dragon or dinosaur he drew for Reflections that year. We have the raining money photo, and Thomas in a suit with a handful of cash. Emily drew a picture of a "different kind of hero" which was the theme that year, of 2 missionaries. Adam did a collage once of a gameboy, when the theme was "If I had a wish." So in that round about way, I came to find this talk by Dieter Uchtdorf on creating, which is a talk from last year's Women's conference, and also this nicely done video. On behalf of all of the little artists, composers, and authors who created something for a PTA competition, or a card for Grandma, or a picture to hang on my fridge, I am posting this video here.
