I am always amazed at how genetics works. And how family characteristics and talents are passed down from generation to generation. Now that we can easily check out our DNA through ancestry.com<\/span><\/a> many people can trace their genealogy back for generations. Pretty cool.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am a creative soul. I have always felt blessed to be able to work in careers that use my artistic talents. I can vividly remember my first-grade teacher pulling me up to her desk at the front of the classroom so that she could watch me draw my family portrait. Apparently, she did not believe that a five-year-old (yes, I skipped kindergarten could use crayons to the ability I did in creating my version of the 6 people in my household. But I proved her wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although my mother “cannot draw a straight line” (her words not mine), I do know that she gave me my wonderful sense of color that I use every day in my career as an interior designer. But what I find more interesting is how my two daughters have gotten this creative gene and used it in their own lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neither of my girls thought that they had any raw talent for drawing like I did growing up. But they both have creative talents far beyond mine in many other ways. My youngest Kelsey, is now an architect. Her combination of creativity and analytical mind make this the perfect profession for her.

My oldest Jackie<\/a>, a creative soul in her own right, initially used this talent in her career in marketing and event planning.<\/span>.. click here to read the rest of this article at www.bailiwickinteriordesign.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
