We live in a time of information overload.  The key to navigating such an information saturated world is developing our communication skills. Effective communication involves skills such as listening and being mindful in our daily interactions with others. There are many forms of communication, it's up to each of us to harness that power and use it effectively.

There are aspects of creativity in just about every part of life! Creativity is not only how we express ourselves, but also a way to develop and discover new skills and talents. Allowing ourselves to explore, use our imaginations, and daydream helps us be able to find new perspectives and perhaps think about something in a new and different way. Creativity allows us to think outside the box!
