Happy October!  I am so excited about this month’s theme: “Challenge Your Creativity“!  It was so inspiring to read the many ways  our chat participants challenge their creativity… from long walks to brushing teeth – creative ideas can come at any time!  Don’t forget to check out the full transcript for some creative/inspirational ideas.
