On creativity and band names

There has been this influx of creativity and general ingenuity in my life recently.  I mean, just now my neighbor was like "Let's make cheese next week" and I was all, "Okay... why not?" and that was just a few minutes ago.  There is this stagnation that comes with my hibernation in winter; it involves cozy comforters and marathons of Parks and Rec.  And that is okay too, but with the buds of spring, the greener leaves, the itchy allergies (okay, not so great) come many lightbulbs.  A friend wants to start a band with me... yes.  I created a new knitting pattern for a scarf... absolutely.  I have read like five books cover to cover in the last three weeks... awesome.  I made cake... well that's not ingenious, or helpful to my figure, but cooking is creating.  I really like this openness to creativity I've had in the last couple weeks.  It makes me feel more aware and present in my life.  It comes with a good dose of purpose and intention that makes the morning more easily met.
My guitar and lyric books.
I think 2012 is going to be an amazing year of growth for me.  Growth comes with tough challenges and fantastic results.  Right now the creativity in my life is breeding more creativity and who knows where it will go, but it will be fruit-full.  I suppose on Easter, that is a good lesson for me to take away.  What is your creative outlet?  Where is it taking you? 

p.s. What are some good band names?
