But how did this name come about?
One fine day long ago, about 2007, my bestie was teaching at her Montessori elementary school. As she led the group in an art activity, she strolled around the room observing. She came upon a little girl who had done something really unique. My friend said, “I really like what you have done! What made you do it like that?”
The little girl, who was probably no more than 6 or 7, examined deeply her art to figure out how to explain her masterpiece. After sincere reflection, she looked up, shrugged and said plainly: “I’m creativeful!”
When my bestie told me this my heart just melted. I knew in that moment that Creativeful was the name of my business. It came from an innocent child and combines some of my most treasured values: Creativity, beauty, and soul searching.
It also reveals how I want to be, how I want to feel, and how I’d like my clients to feel. It represents inner wisdom that is meaningful, beautiful, and useful- which is what I envision for my artwork and facilitation. It is soulful creative expression. Artful design of needful things.
I hope we can all embody the beauty of creativity, the fullness of creative thinking and living, and unleash our own beautiful, Soulful Selves into our everyday lives.
It is my sincerest hope to help you, too, to be creativeful!
Creatively Yours,
Noel
