Greetings my fellow creative friends. I’m the Bella Creativity editor, Deb Bonam. “Creativity” is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts. That's what the Creativity site is all about - the generation of new ideas and concepts and that's exactly what I'll be covering in my newsletters each month. It's my goal to visit areas such as painting, drawing, poetry, jewelry making, music, artists, creativity for kids, photography, journal writing, as well as visits to museums, consignment and vintage shops.

The newsletter is an informal monthly personal letter to you to remind you that articles have been posted to the Creativity site and to have a brief chat with you. I'm always searching for interesting music to listen to, therefore, when I do find music I feel is cutting edge, I may recommend it to readers. You can expect music like new age, jazz and classical. If something exciting is happening in the creative world I'll throw current news in the newsletter. Every once in a while, I'll pop some art in the newsletter for you to look at. You might like it, you might hate it, but it's art just the same and that's what it's all about. Of course feedback is always welcome at my email address listed on the Bella Creativity site. Who knows, I may even throw in a recipe every now and then because being creative extends to the kitchen and creative recipes are sure to please the palate.

I'd also like to have ongoing discussions about the transformative process that we go through to come out on the other side of creativity. This can occur when people have gone through hard times, life changes or a near death experience. Speaking of discussions, please visit forum any time of the day to post your comments and start your own threads. I'm on there daily and will respond to all posts. It's our forum to be creative with out thoughts and to share our personal stories, so don't hold back!

Writing for the Bella Creativity site is an honor and an exciting opportunity for me to draw upon my past creative experiences in life and ongoing enthusiasm for this exciting topic. I look forward to writing to you each month.

I would like to invite you to sign-up for the new Creativity newsletter Always Creative. Again, in each monthly issue, you can expect a letter from me and a link to the latest article. Check the site weekly, however, as new articles will appear each week. There is a box at the bottom of the page where you can subscribe. I also invite you to share the newsletter with your family and friends!

No one likes the words virus and spam. Relax, don’t worry, BellaOnline.com will not sell, trade, giveaway or lend your email to anyone. You won’t get spam, all you will get is this newsletter and when and if you decide you don’t want to get it anymore, you can unsubscribe. Whatever your passion – express yourself in your greatest creativity!

Yours in Creativity,

Deb Bonam
