Making Fantasy Important Again
Let’s get back to our childlike wonderment of the world and inject some fantasy into it for ourselves and our audiences. Whether you’re a writer, painter, musician, or any other creative soul, the infusion of fantasy in your artistic endeavors can unlock a whole new level of inspiration, innovation, and emotional connection. My wife gave me a box of cards for the holidays in 2022. I was puzzled because they were creativity cards and I thought, what the heck is this, I don’t need them. Well, folks, I was wrong and I will attempt to do a card a week and record an episode about how I am utilizing the card I draw every week if you decide to pick up a deck and do these let me know.
