Creativity is good for your soul. Your heart. Your body and brain. And with all the time we're spending on social media and the Internet, endless creative inspiration is always around us. While I adore the ability to see works from artists around the world, find a quote of inspiration at just the right moment and be able to peek into someone's home at any given moment, all this consumption can lull us into thinking that we, ourselves, were actually creative that day.
