Hard to define really but I believe it it usually compelling, something you don't want to deny but often we do because we are afraid since like you say, it is often not the usual. Not necessarily about enjoyment, but enjoyable when happening. About living in the present moment itself. You are able to do that with your Monday night videos for sure, and it's the essence of creativity. I think creativity is also about letting the spirit flow through you to manifest beauty!

Seeking creativity in the mundane. And I am taking lessons in imperfection from you. I have tons of sewing projects. Tons of them. I finally let my big girls have some to do. It was very freeing and they are having so much fun. I get to sew and they get to sew and we all are having a blast. The three younger ones create masterpieces while we do that and everything is good. Thanks for being an example. I realized I was doing this the other day. Seeking creativity in the mundane.
