The Power of Real Life Feelings and Unvarnished Truth

By

Earlier this month, I ended the newsletter with a request. I wrote: "If you're a regular reader of this newsletter, hit the reply button and let me know what's your favorite part of the newsletter, or the topic you'd like to see more information about. It will help me get over this "should I do this or that" waffling I've been lost in and help me provide the information and help you're looking for." I received only a handful of responses, but interestingly, the majority said things …

Is It Time to Do Something Different? 7 Helpful Questions to Ask Yourself

By

I like to think of myself as a well organized person. Someone who plans ahead and develops systems and processes for everything. So, as I mentioned in the last newsletter imagine my surprise when, on December 31, I went to write something in my planner for the next week — the first full week of 2022 — and realized I didn't have a 2022 planner. Yup. Something I normally order in September was MIA because I never ordered it.It's a goof with far-reaching repercussions. But of course, that …

Do you ever get sick of seeing all these "2022 will be a great year if you just do this" types of content? I sure do. . . I confess, as 2021 has drawn to a close, I've found myself indecisive in ways that I'm not normally. Do I want to go this direction or that? Do I want to travel here or there? Will the trip be worth the aggravation of dealing with COVID restrictions and requirements? In what ways do I want to grow my business in 2022? Nobody who knows me would ever characterize me …

Do You Want to Get Better at Creativity AND Productivity?

By

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Immersive Van Gogh Experience in Orlando. I knew about Van Gogh, of course. Sunflowers, windmills, starry nights, and cutting off ears. . . but one thing I didn't know was how intensely time limited his painting career was. According to Wikipedia: In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. [Emphasis mine] Two years, to create nearly 2,000 …

Professional Creative vs Creative Professional – So What’s the Difference?

By

It's just over a year since I relaunched this newsletter as a biweekly, curated message focused on working from anywhere, so happy birthday to us! (You can read the very first issue here). It's been quite a year. . . a year of adjusting to the pandemic, and coming to grips with the likelihood that COVID will always be with us (though not as deadly as it was initially). . . a year of change for me as we moved our home base. . . a year of winding down in some ways as I stopped taking on new …
