Good morning. In my spare time (none) am reading a book about Creative Women and one of the sections I found fascinating was about rituals that people use to spark their creativity. Do you have some to share? I would love to hear yours in the comments. So, in general I can be quite
Obsessive ritualistic. And let's just say that it runs in the family. My Dad (sorry dad;) lines up his morning routine the night before....floss, toothbrush, comb, deodorant....I'm sure I got the order wrong and he will be E-mailing me later to correct me.
