Unlock
The Call: Searching for the Key — Cheryl
Yesterday, my father-in-law asked me about creativity. He thinks he has none and wondered about cultivating it. I don’t think there’s any one key to unlocking the secret. It seems to me that cultivating creativity involves a multifaceted strategy that includes giving oneself permission to fail, allowing oneself time to experiment and learn with no guaranteed reward of a beautiful product (I wrote about this recently in a post called “Process versus Product”), and developing confidence through experience.
The Response: Master Brand Lock — Jessica
Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential.

The lock is used to store the kids’ laptops when they are not using them. Sometimes we are better about locking them up than at other times.
Ha! Another one of our serendipitous posts! It seems that we were thinking along the same lines — although I like your shot much better! : ) I was wishing all day long that I had an old fashion looking key.
Locking up the laptops is an interesting idea. When we put up the Christmas tree, the PC the kids use got put away. We still haven’t set it back up, and I don’t know that we will. It’s nice to not find the little ones watching Lego videos every chance they get.
