Christmas = Tired, Stressed and Over It!

Christmas = Tired, Stressed and Over It!

Jo Uncategorized

Isn’t it interesting how we seem to be more tired, stressed and impatient at Christmas compared to the rest of the year? So often we look forward to Christmas as a time to relax and kick back.  We dream of it all year while we slog away at jobs and everyday tasks. Without even realizing, […]

Our strongest assets can be so obvious, we miss them.

Our strongest assets can be so obvious, we miss them.

Jo Uncategorized

Our strongest assets are often right under our noses and so blindingly obvious that we miss them, which is what I certainly did. It’s not until you look back that you can track your journey of discovery.  Mine can be seen in my posts since the launch of this web site. First step – Making and […]

You Don’t Have To Be Artistic To Be Creative

Jo Uncategorized

Being creative is definitely not exclusive to being artistic.  Would you limit yourself to one creative option when you have a smorgasbord to choose from? As Edward de Bono said, “Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.” Last week, I talked about perspective as a […]

Perspective is a Powerful Problem Solver

Jo Uncategorized

How we react, respond and deal with every day situations is highly influenced by our perspective. It can be so subtle, we don’t realize  that it influences how we see things. Here’s a good analogy- Ever looked through a cardboard tube and noticed how narrow your view becomes? Like the narrow view through the tube, you’re […]

Isn’t it Interesting When…..

Jo Uncategorized

Isn’t it interesting when you watch a program on TV and make all these other connections with life in general? I recently watched a program on snowflakes which explained why each is unique and different.  All are made from water, but it’s their journey to earth that forms each of their unique patterns / shapes.  […]

Seeing yourself through new eyes

Jo Uncategorized

If you’ve read my October post, you’ll realize it was a busy and creative month for me.  So, what does that mean for you and I? I’ve come to realize that my creative activities are a personal and more spiritual journey, not a business venture. I’ve been working on building an on line business which […]

October – a month of learning and growth

Jo Uncategorized

Ever found that suddenly a whole month has passed and you don’t know where the time went? October has been like that.  I was asked by a close friend to help her out with the art and decoration for a new music and art festival, which I happily said ” Yes” to.  Then 4 days […]

A Learning Journey

Jo Uncategorized

I’ve come to realise that trying to start a business that is based on making things and being creative requires more than the skills needed to simply make things. How to regularly post on Social Media, the skill and knowledge about knowing what wording to use and when.  How about being able to promote both […]

What makes a workshop less enjoyable?

Jo Uncategorized

Have you come away from workshops with satisfaction mixed with dissatisfaction?  Though every tutor has an amazing depth of knowledge and skill, they often make some fundamental mistakes. Before the workshop:           You are sent a list of items / materials you need to bring along which costs more than you […]

Got the Impression Creative Thinking is Important to us??

Jo Uncategorized

Nu4u wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for creative thinking. Being able to recycle or reuse natural and recycled material wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t for creative thinking, nor would there be the willingness to nurture and support other creative thinkers. Creative thinking enriches our life on so many levels. It influences our relationships, how we […]

Communication and what this means to Nu4u

Jo Uncategorized

The Oxford Dictionary explains that the origin of this word is from the Latin verb communicare “to share” and defined it as, “The successful conveying or sharing of ideas and feelings”. So – what does this mean for us at Nu4u? For us the key words are ” Successful” and “Sharing”. We try to find […]

A Rocky Relationship

Jo Uncategorized

I’ve decided that technology and I have an uneasy relationship.  This is based on the fact that I have limited knowledge of how it works and what I can do with it.  The fact that I’m wired for creative thinking that doesn’t always follow a step by step, logical process doesn’t help either. In my […]

Jo Uncategorized

Have you ever wanted to bury yourself away for a day and lock the world out so you can totally focus on something you love doing? Well, the other day I did!  I had a lunch appointment cancel so took advantage of having a spare day to focus on a project I’ve been itching to […]

Welcome to Nu4u

admin Uncategorized

Have you found that over the years you have had dreams or wants that the everyday grind of work, sleep, eat etc stops you from doing? Don’t get me wrong – I loved my job, but there was a deep-seated dream to be able to immerse myself in the world of art and creativity. 12 […]
