No Excuses Now!



The world is on ‘pause’. Meetings are cancelled. Appointments are done online. Travel is suspended. Bars and restaurants and movie theaters are closed.
What are you waiting for?
If you are an artist or writer or dancer or anyone with a creative tinge, this is your time.
This virus pandemic has slowed the hurry race down to a string of holidays at home.
No Distractions!
Pick up your brush or pencil or pen or instrument and create. You have the time you’ve always been complaining about not having.
If you are a dancer you can create new moves in front of a mirror to a boom box soundtrack. If you are a symphony musician practice your parts or create your own. If you are a writer, now is the time to write the next great American novel. Photographers, if you are sequestered, open the windows and check out the light and shadows. If you are a renowned chef, make a dish from whatever ingredients you have on hand that will bring the hungry in when the restaurants are open again.
Creativity is time and inspiration.
Now you have the time.
