Easy Breezy Creativity

Recently, I found myself going down a Pinterest rabbit hole looking for some creative Halloween decorating ideas. Painted pumpkins? Broomstick sculpture on the front door? Spiderweb wreath? Finally, I settled for dropping a single mini-pumpkin into the middle of a beachy arrangement I already had.

And you know what? It makes me happy every time I walk by it. As I say in Life Glows On, “Remember, it doesn’t have to be complicated to be creative. It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.”

I’m so glad I took my own advice.

CLAIRE COOK wrote her first book in her minivan at 45. At 50, she walked the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of Must Love Dogs, starring Diane Lane and John Cusack, which is now a 7-book series.

    I was walking the beach at sunrise this morning, splashing along barefoot in the water. I almost walked right into this shark. That woke me up! It was swimming back and forth at the edge of the water, close enough that I could hear the theme music from Jaws playing in my head. Enjoy your…

  • RIP Christopher Plummer

    Christopher Plummer was incredibly kind to me on the set of the Must Love Dogs movie. When he first saw me, he stood, lifted his arms in one of his grand gestures and announced, “The author is here.” Thanks for making this author laugh and feel a little less overwhelmed. The world was lucky to have you…
