There’s a lot of emphasis on producing these days.
You may have heard the recent buzzword, “shipping”, which refers to creating projects or products, launching them, getting them out the door, and then doing it all over again. There’s a wonderful air of excitement around this idea because it essentially bypasses resistance and helps you just [...]

Friday Poetry – Orchids
“Thursday Poetry” has happened accidentally on Fridays enough times now that I’m just going to rename the feature Friday Poetry! So there.
Here’s a poem I wrote this morning while contemplating cyclical creativity. In handling myself as an artist, I need to remember to be gentle and tell myself that just because I’m not blooming, doesn’t [...]
Locked In With Your Fears

Thoughts on Claiming Power: Playing Small
The last week has been interesting. I am rediscovering books, snippets, and practices that all point to the same thing – exploration of personal power. It’s one of those situations where, once you’ve seen something, you come across it everywhere. I’ve decided to explore how this stuff is affecting me in a series of posts.
