Creative Courant: Newsletter #12
Hello again,
As we go into a holiday weekend here in America, the number of COVID cases are increasing with 50K new cases reported in a single day and setting a new record.
As we navigate this uncertain path, it’s good to remember that this is the perfect time for creativity in its purest form. As Deepak Chopra says, “Uncertainty is the fertile ground of creativity and freedom.” An unscripted time allows for newness to emerge. Let’s put our creative juices to work - it can change the world!
Happy 4th of July to my American friends, a belated Happy Canada Day to my friends up north and happy weekend to everyone around the world.
Suzanne
