Every human makes a mark. Whether it is through parenting, or activism, or creative work, we all leave something of ourselves behind.

So, some thoughts on creation.

“Think before you speak is criticism’s motto; speak before you think, creation’s.” ~ E.M. Forster

“In a time of destruction, create something.” ~ Maxine Hong Kingston

“Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any style or system.” ~ Bruce Lee

“Fiction is the truth inside the lie.” ~ Stephen King

“We forge the chains we wear in life.” ~ Charles Dickens (Here’s my takeaway: don’t do that anymore. Forge something awesome instead.)

Blessings to you all, and never give up!
