How did you get started on your creative journey?

Looking around all the wonderful work posted here in blogland, I started thinking…  I wonder how many people have a desire to be more creative but just don’t know how or where to start? 

I know that was me a few years ago, and it was the idea of documenting a trip to France in a more visual way that got me started in journaling.  From there my creative journey has broadened, inspired by much that I have seen here on the web and some wonderful online workshops along the way.  A journey that has enriched and nourished me in more ways than I can say.

So, how can we inspire others to take their first tentative steps on the creative path?  Perhaps by sharing our stories we will encourage others?

So, I am asking a favour – write a post about what got you started on YOUR creative journey, and the blocks you had to overcome.  Then leave a comment below with a link back to your post.  And please spread the word – ask all your friends to participate.  Let’s inspire others to create!
