Creative Living.
I typed a book title idea into my iphone notes once upon a time ago.
Laura Scarborough: A Life Creatively Lived.
I suppose it sounds like the beginning of an obituary, but the idea was that I should write a memoir someday about the wonder, curiosity, and play approach to living.
You see, I believe happiness is derived from creative living, and creativity lives inside all of us.
Creativity is an outlook - a way of being and seeing the world.
Creativity is colorful.
Creativity exists in daily choices. Creativity is active - not passive.
Creativity requires presence and bandwidth.
Creativity understands everything is in a state of flow and that obstacles are opportunities.
Creativity leads to invention - but only with Action.
Action is : doing the work.
Action is : realizing the vision.
A friend last night said to me, “My new years resolution for 2018 is to resolve something everyday... and it's been going great - I'm getting so much done!”
Resolve to Resolve. Brilliant, right?!
So, my resolve today was to get my first post up on Steemit.
I discovered Steemit because a fellow Steemer sent me a message that he had shared some music of mine in a post (Artopium Post Link Here). He said it had generated positive response and some Steem -- and that I should get over here!
Since then, I’ve been exploring, reading, learning about blockchain, the crypto currency world, and checking out the awesome vibe here. I think this community is creative, innovative, forward thinking, supportive, engaged, and curious. So I’m in and delighted to be here!
I’m a touring musician, piano instructor, vibraphonist, multi-instrumentalist, nerd, dog mom that’s been hooping (yes hula hooping) for over 13 years. Austin, TX is my home base. I teach and share about the power of creative living, growing younger, and hooping for fitness, play, and movement meditation.
Looking forward to sharing, learning, and finding inspiration here on Steemit. :D
Love, Laura

Hello Laura, welcome to steemit. I wish you used the "introduceyourself" tag, your post may have gotten more exposure.
I look forward to your posts.
Quick tip: you can get free images on websites like Pexels, Unsplash, and Pixabay. If you use an image in a post, it's good practice to reference where you got the image from. If you own the copyright, you could state it at the end of the post.
Ah Thank you so much! I realized I did introducemyself not introduceyourself! duh! neeeewbie! I updated but the post is probably old now ... haha.
yes reference to the image source / photo credit important - yes thank you so much for the feedback. #learning
Welcome aboard, @Laurascarborough, you sound like a lot of fun! As a fellow artist (I'm a writer) I also view life as serious play, and hope you write your book, one day.
Just visited Austin for the first time, recently, where I was invited to take part in Int'l Book Festival :)
If you're interested, here's a poetry reading I did:
