Everyday Creation
This show has to do with different kinds of creation: human, divine, and a third kind that connects the two. Our human creativity is easy to talk about because clearly we're prolific creators. We make music, we write, we cook; we establish businesses, we design gardens, we invent things. The list goes on and on. Another kind of creation is divine. We feel its presence when, for example, we contemplate birth, death, our life purpose, or have a quiet realization that there's something bigger than us. The third kind is perhaps a little more difficult to grasp and yet, with a little practice, it's easy to put into action. This is the personal power each of us has to direct our thoughts, words and actions every day toward what we want in our life and world, rather than what we don't want.
This sounds heavier than it is. For me, this show is an acknowledgment that while we're all here to learn and grow and do our best, there's still plenty of opportunity to relax, laugh, love, and enjoy this playground we call life. So my hope is that you'll get some enjoyment and illumination out of these episodes. Here you'll find interviews with delightfully creative individuals; short stories about some who have passed away; and essays about personal power.
I'm Kate Jones, host and creator of Everyday Creation. Thank you for following my show.

Picturing a Kinder, Gentler World
Troubled by all the tension and divisiveness? Here’s a humble offering in the form of a visualization/meditation that may help ease our stress.
It begins with holding ourselves and our surroundings in the highest light, and ends with love and gratitude. In between, it's short yet expansive, and kind of sweet.
Hope it helps.
This is Kate Jones. Thank you for listening to Everyday Creation, available on YouTube and in podcast directories including Apple, Audible, iHeart and Spotify.
[Kate's introduction]
Hello, this is Kate Jones with Everyday Creation, a show about living our purpose and lifting our vibes.
With so many of us feeling anxious and unsettled about the tension and divisiveness in the world, here’s a humble offering to help ease our stress.
It’s in the form of a short visualization that can turn our powerful thoughts toward best possible outcomes.
After all, in troubling times, we need to do what we can do, and that is to start with our own selves.
So here goes:
[Visualization/meditation begins]
First, hold yourself and your immediate surroundings in the highest light.
Then begin expanding the light until it includes your country, then all other countries, then the entire planet.
See all inhabitants comforted by kindness, supported by love and goodness, and awakened to higher consciousness.
Finish with a smile and feel awash in love and gratitude.
[Kate's closing remarks]
That’s it, a really simple visualization that came to me one day while I was at my desk, writing in my journal.
You’ve no doubt come across similar meditations or visualizations. This one just felt right to me for this particular moment in our lives.
I’m Kate Jones, a writer/editor/podcaster who’s been working on lifting my own consciousness oh, just about my entire life.
I’m no expert and certainly not a spiritual teacher; I just share what works for me and hope some of it resonates with you too. If it does, please pass it on.
Thank you for listening to Everyday Creation.
