Hello fellow online groupies!  I am excited to start this year with you! For this week, I want to get your creative juices flowing to get your hands, hearts and minds ready for our amazing  first week speaker, Bre'Ann!  She is on fire about the freelance work she is doing and is passionate about creating. First, I want you to watch this talk about creativity and pay attention to (1) what she describes as the things that get in the way of creativity (2) things that creativity can do for you (3) ways you can be creative Then I want you to take your answers to those three questions above and pick one answer that is particularly meaningful or applicable to you.  Put it in your Vanguard Sun in a proactive way! For instance, maybe "courage to express myself" is something I need to work on, something that gets in the way of my creativity. I could put that in the Leadership section or the Imaginative Arts section as something I need to work on.  Get the i...
