Today, we celebrate International Creativity and Innovation Day! We can’t think of a better way to acknowledge the creativity that came about 35 years ago, still being celebrated today, as we continue to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Precious Moments Chapel! This milestone anniversary invites us to infuse our lives with a renewed sense of purpose and creativity. In the spirit of honoring this enduring legacy, let’s carry forward the essence of inspiration and artistry that has graced the Precious Moments Chapel for over three decades.
As we embark on this journey of creativity and innovation, let’s explore 35 Ways To Be Creative; ways to not only cultivate our own creative spirit but also to use art as a medium for spreading kindness, igniting inspiration, and making a meaningful difference in the world. Join us as we delve into the transformative potential of creativity and embark on a journey of discovery, imagination, and purpose!
