I am, Terry Mack your guide on your exciting journey to claim your creative freedom and awaken your own creative spirit. Creativity in thought and action has become the driving force in my life but it wasn't always that way. I feared the whole idea of myself as a creative person. I was sure everyone had more talent and ability than I could ever possibly have. I argued for my limitations and they became mine yet, all through my life I have used creativity to solve problems, plan events, explore options and it has now become a huge part of my life. As a single parent raising three kids on my own on my income from working for non-profits I came up with creative ways to make individual time for each of my children, create special birthday moments and have mini adventure outings since I was never able to afford to take them on many extended vacations. From these activities, I began to develop an awareness and understanding that creativity and embracing your creative spirit is so much bigger than simply the art, music and writing; the areas we typically think of when we are arguing for the reasons we are not creative. If you have ever said, I can't even draw a stick person, I can't carry a tune in a bucket or any other negative statements about your creativity, I will challenge you to connect to and joyfully explore your true creative spirit and understand the ways it has influenced your life. 
It
is never to late to awaken your creative spirit. At 42 years of age, I
became part of Canada's first team to enter an International Rhythmic
Gymnastics Gymnastraeda held in Berlin in 1995. In 2005 I was gifted
with my first Native American flute which led to setting up my own
business selling the flutes and to develop into a person who performs,
records and teaches people how to play these flutes, and all without any
formal musical education. I have recorded two CD's of my original
music.

If I can draw a stick person..... you can do it too. My stick person and I will be doing more fun things in the future.
Playing music had never been a part of my life until 2005 when I was given my first Native American Style Flute for Christmas and a new type of journey began. This one was of musical exploration and this is what developed when I let go of my fears.
