I was flooded with memories being in Westwood. I was able to revisit old neighborhoods and take familiar walks. Some things remain the same and some have changed, but the feel of the community was familiar. We had set up The Key Idea when a freakish storm blew threw the park just as we were getting started. Torrential rain, high winds, thunder and lightning, for 15 minutes or so. Branches fell and so did our display. Everything, including us was wet. Then then sun returned brilliantly and delivered us a rainbow. The Celebrate Westwood team of Rose Ann and Lauren jumped into action and saved the day. Rough start yet a memorable event. Through The Key Idea, people talked about what is important to them in a word or a sentence. Good people live here, I filled my heart with memories and love from a time long ago.

Lenore Lyons is passionate about igniting the spark that happens when people think creatively and get big ideas. There is something about riffling through a large tray of keys that encourages people of all ages to think about possibilities for their life and their loved ones.

She’s not sure exactly why, but hundreds of people have picked a key and said with satisfaction, “this feels good.” Then they are open to writing about their important ideas.

The keys all have a history and have been donated by countless people in the USA and elsewhere.. We always offer, and most people choose to keep their key. I like the ideas that strangers who will never meet are somehow connected by this simple yet powerful object.

The current project, as election year approaches is The Keys to Our American Dreams. We hope to discover the truth is a Maya Angelou poem, “we are more alike my friend than we are unalike.”

Lenore is the founder of The Key Idea, Inc. This large-scale community engagement project invites folks from 1 -100 to respond to the same art and writing prompt. We tend to lock and unlock important things and this project highlights what is important at different stages of life.

Lenore wants people to have fun with the arts and enjoy the process. She has her masters degree in education, has taught thousands of children and adults with her certification in Visual Arts K-12 and Elementary Education.
