Make Your World More Lovely

Have you seen this short film, "The Beckoning of Lovely"?

I loved Amy Krouse Rosenthal's Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life (and the fun way she left copies of her book for people to find).  I love her creativity, her sense of play, and the way that both of these create a world sparkling with possibilities. 

So much of what we create in the world — and how creative we can be — is based on how we open to wonder. And how willing we are to put those creative callings of our heart out into the world. 

As I think of it, how we are and what we create in the world comes down to how open we are. Period.

I love the idea that Amy has created the "Beckoning of Lovely" as an expanding film. Everyone is welcome to submit to the project. They are looking for submissions in these categories: 

 Music of all kinds / Bands/ Singer-Songwriters / Videos / Short films / Animation / Paintings / Drawings / Art / Illustration / True stories / Made-up stories / Poems/ Lists / Monologues / Plays / Dance / Inventions / Crafts / Photographs / Cell phone snapshots / Architecture / Design / Culinary creations / Journal pages / Collage / Sand castles /  Everything.

More details on the project and submitting are here. (Thanks to Cathy Z. for posting about this film on her blog.)

I'm committing to submitting something. Not sure what yet. But I'm open to the process of discovering what that is. (Would you like to play, too? If so, let me know!)

Tell me, what have you made? What do you want to make more lovely in your world today?
