Our space affects how we work and helps us create something out of nothing. It depends on our personality. Everyone is different when it comes to how the environment affects our creativity.
Some people thrive and create non-stop when the space is chaotic in an organized way. Others create astonishing art when the space is quiet or when there are ambient sounds.
The images below are some inspirations for you to create your creative space. They are my personal preferences. Furniture in wood and plants are giving me life. One study shows that space with a view of nature helps to nurture creativity. Having plants at home helps to reduce stress.
I got some flowers and put them in a vase for the first time last month. I had to be careful with them, so I became focused and did not think about anything. The hour went by so fast. I am pleased to say that I may learn to make flower bouquets.

My favourites from my subscribers will be featured in a future newsletter issue along with your social media. Subscribe if you want your poem, prose or story to be featured in May.
