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’ve definitely had days like this (especially when I’m trying to finish a book!), but one thing I’ve learned is that whenever I want to give up on something, when I try just a little bit harder, that’s when all the good things happen. So whatever is or isn’t happening in your life right now,…
