Hi there you beautiful lady,
I’m welcoming you to this second edition of Ownit Magazine. The theme of this time is Creativity, which can be translated into the expression of our being. As humans, we are capable of expressing ourselves through our work, our body; our instruments, our speech; our art like drawing, painting; sculpture or photography; our videos, our flower arranging; our play, our cooking; our gardening, our DJ performance; our interviews, our ideas, etc. Everything you see manifested in this world was once an idea in someone's mind and is, therefore, a creative creation.
A lot of people still think of drawing or art when talked about creativity, but in fact, it is all you DO in this lifetime. It’s doing the things that make you happy. I've come to realize that the things I loved doing as a little girl are the things that make me happy today. For some strange reason, we all seem to forget this. For instance, I loved fo fiddle, enjoyed writing my journal, picking and arranging flowers, and redesigning my room. I also loved trees and riding my bicycle. Knowing these are the things that make me who I am and give me energy, has made me appreciate them more. So nowadays, I reload my energy-level by picking one of those activities for I know they'll make me happy and fill me up.
I hope you will like this slightly thinner edition of the magazine. I decided to reduce the amount of content, but upgrade the frequency to every other month. This was after some feedback from women and men who loved the magazine but found it too overwhelming. I'd love to hear your feedback too. I included a survey in the back (page 49) for overall rating on design, writing, etc. Know I am here to empower you, but don't forget I need YOUR HELP too. So if you want to contribute or share your story? Go to page 51. For any questions, always feel free to ask and know I am here to answer (as soon as I can).
