So Who is This Guy and What’s This Mildly Creative Stuff All About?

Hi.  My name is Ken Robert and you need to know right now that I am not an expert.

I have no special degrees and I’m not a wealthy man, so I have no advice on how to get rich or start your own million dollar business.  There are people who do and do so very well.  I’m just not one of them.  And, as of today, I’m not a best selling author, a successful artist, or a prominent speaker.

But what I am is happy, and I haven’t always been that.  For years I was actually quite miserable, trying very hard to be practical until I was practically dead inside. Then, one day, I’d had enough of being anything other than who I was and decided I was going to make a change.

There was only one problem.  I had no idea who I really was.

So, in the beginning, I spent a lot of time in a fetal position, but that’s how we all begin, and that’s how I began again.

In time, I emerged.  Then I learned to crawl.  And now, I am still in the process of learning to walk.  I hope to run some day. Throughout this new development, I’ve been exploring my world, trying out one thing and then another, discovering what I like and what I don’t, and learning a few things along the way.

The most important thing that I’ve learned is that you can’t wait for permission to do what your heart longs to do.  You can’t wait for the perfect time or the perfect circumstances.  They don’t exist and they never will. The best thing you can do is put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward, inch by inch, day by day.

And this is what I call being mildly creative, which is all about leading a life of quiet inspiration.  To really understand where I’m coming from, you might want to read my Mild Manifesto.

It doesn’t matter what you choose to do so much as it does that you choose to do something, something creative, something that leads you to notice the world around you and the world within you, and then to embrace it and cherish it.  That’s what good living is all about.

And that’s why I’ve created this site.

It is my chosen mission to help others take the steps, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem, to live more creatively.

I want to inspire you to get started on your own creative journey. I’ll share everything I can find or come up with that will help you make your next creative move.

I’ll be patient with you; please be patient with me.  I’m on the same journey you’re on, the journey of exploration, experimentation, discovery, invention, and reinvention.

Let’s begin, shall we?
