“Creativity: One Size Does Not Fit All”

You are where you are, and it is all good.
We are all exactly where we are meant to be at any given moment.”

“Creative inspiration is coming through me so fast, through so many different mediums, that I don’t want to miss a single moment of documenting in some form, the creative expression that is screaming to come out and take shape.”
- Brenda Johima -
“You be YOU!”
- Brenda Johima -
“Human beings are not dollar signs.”

“We delete too much, we erase too much, we paint over too much, we repeat too much, we perfect too much and all the while, we stop creativity in its tracks.”
- Brenda Johima -
“Who is really nuts? The one with the eraser.”
- Brenda Johima -
“Painting is about the paint and the experience, not the image.
Paint speaks in ways in which we cannot.
Paint evokes emotion…any emotion…something always happens.
Paint interacts with other colors of paint.
Paint interacts with humans, with the canvas, with the walls around the paint.
Paint interacts and communicates something…always.
Paint does not need an image in order to speak.
We must only look, listen inside, and be curious about our own experience.”
- Brenda Johima -
“I believe that you have been given dreams, visions, gifts, talents and ideas because you have been chosen as one who can put them into action. The point is not whether you succeed or fail as others define it…the point is that you do it, because you want to, and you have a dream that needs to live.”
- Brenda Johima -
“Creativity is not only for arts and culture. Creativity, innovation, imagination, the ability to invent and to think creatively is crucial for business, science and technology, health, education, construction, for the development of new products and services, for employment and job creation and, for every day life. Creating the business, life and career we dream of and long for, requires imagination and creative thinking, combined with the courage to take the action required to get there and to reach our goals.”
- Brenda Johima -
“Creativity and innovation have made many, many people millionaires, but if millions is not your goal, then live the creative life, simply to be happy.”
- Brenda Johima -
I’m positive that I’m positively inspired to think positive things, believe in positivity and to take positive action toward amazingly positive adventures today. And I’m positive about that!

“If you have a calling, an urge, something you think about day and night, a passion, it is there for you to follow, to listen to it, to move toward it, and to find out the ways it may bring you more into being your total and complete self. We have all been given unique and extraordinary gifts in order to used them, and to share the wealth and joy of it with others.”
- Brenda Johima -
Creativity is about living in the unknown, expecting the unexpected, and not controlling outcomes. This is when we find the hidden gems.

“Creativity is a way of life. It is not just about doing things and making things. Creativity Takes Courage. Creativity is a way of being, a way of thinking, a way of living and breathing and a way of moving through your world on a day to day basis.”
- Brenda Johima -
“When people have fun, more things get done.
When people have fun, more learning gets done.”
