I Am Creative with Hollis Citron
These conversations are to be a safe space to create connection, share stories, foster self expression and feel empowered! Creativity goes beyond the pencil and the brush. Creativity is your unique and original exploration, expansion, expression of your imagination. Even if you are not “an artist”, you are creative. You are creative because you are the only person that can add your gifts to the things that you create. You are creative because only you can express your ideas and greatness with the world.

Talk about making your vision come to life, it can take time and it is so worth it! Love this quote that Reid Simkovitz said, " Small attainable goals". creativity is when are creating something to its fullest potential. You cannot go from A to Z... The small attainable goals make it manageable and possible.
In 2016, Reid Simkovitz had a vision for the future of shaving: people would be able to shave the back of their necks in their own. After launching the Scruffie four years later, he posted a series of viral TikTok videos, which ultimately led to more people buying the product for their legs.
Today, the Scruffie is available worldwide and Reid continues to promote his innovative razor across social media.

One of the quotes that really jumped out during our conversation was, " Time is a boundary". We create this... As Tammy Collins says, true creativity is the ability to remove boundaries... just breathe that in!

Talking law of attraction and manifestation.. if you do not surround yourself with people that support you.. you can do just this. Love Neo Positivity's quote, " You can love someone from a distance".
Neo Positivity was born and raised in the poorest city in America to early retirement Neo knows firsthand how to alter your life’s current trajectory and your average daily mindset. He learned about the law of attraction in March of 2008. Neo quickly became obsessed with creating and mastering new custom LOA techniques.
He retired from the Police Department later that year in November. This obsession led to the creation of his summit called “Neo Positivity’s Thoughts Become Things Summit”. Over the past 13 years he’s interviewed hundreds of Law of Attraction specialists and cataloged their greatest techniques. Now they’re all on display in this guru group mastermind as they answer questions from the audience and change lives.
From depression to living a happy and fulfilled life. And from 40+ hours a week to retirement. He’s a father, an avid pilot, and the Voice of the Thoughts Become Things Movement.

Love this quote from Priscilla Aguila, " I have bad moments not a bad day".
Words that come to mind during the discussion: confidence, control, perfectionism, responsibility and pressure and being committed....
Priscilla found her success in the advertising industry for over 20 years by combining her skills as a copywriter, graphic designer, and account executive.
As an A-Ha Whisperer and Brand Stylist, she gives a fresh perspective by using both left and right brain in her designs and creative process for her inspiration and design shop, Get Silly Creative.
For over a year, Priscilla has committed to daily postings of random holidays on her social media accounts. Tired of seeing the negative content in her feed, this single mother of two started her joyful journey of Everyday Sillybrations with her children on August 1, 2020, to show how inspiration is everywhere and there is always something to celebrate.
