This past year has been eye-opening. I’ve taken the plunge and shared a lot over the past thirty-two posts and I hope you’ve enjoyed it thus far. The purpose of this Substack was to find a way to force myself to write an article every other week and post it regardless of how confident I felt about it. Substack Instagram Twitter

Building success sucks, hard work sucks, failing sucks, it all sucks. But if it has to suck, why not suck at doing something you love? Substack Instagram Twitter

When I was a child my grandmother used to say “We plan, God laughs.” I always thought I knew the meaning of that saying but you never truly do until your world comes crashing down and you’re standing at an impasse discombobulated. Only then does the wisdom in those four words finally ring true. Social Media Substack Instagram Twitter

Instead of asking people “how are you?” a question that results in the same boring answer, ask “reading anything interesting?” You’d be amazed at what you learn about people and yourself by asking this question. We lack the self-awareness to truly understand how we feel but instead of telling, we’re great at showing. By sharing what you’re reading/watching/listening to you’re opening a window into your interests that allow for a much deeper meaningful conversation. To save you the awkward interaction I will share what I’ve started reading this week and why I think you may enjoy it! Social Media Instagram Twitter

On Friday morning I awoke anxious knowing I had a half-baked story sitting in my word processor stuck with no idea of where I wanted to take the story. As I made my morning breakfast of blueberries, oatmeal and a banana I took my time hoping if I took long enough maybe an idea would spring forth or better yet, my computer would implode.

In your absence, I struggled for an idea this week, the outcome? A love letter to the gatekeeper of ideas, the one who guides us through to the other side where ideas flow like a never-ending stream of inspiration. You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter

After reading Atomic Habits by James Clear I learned about Decision Fatigue. The idea is we have a finite amount of decisions we can make each day before our quality in decision making begins to take a steady decline. I tried something a little different this week. On top of the audio portion, I decided to set up my webcam and record a video as well. It’s the same content as the audio but if you prefer a visual medium you can watch the podcast: Youtube You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter

I ask myself (as most creators of art do.) “When will I no longer feel like an imposter?” I’m not sure that point will ever come but I’ve set a goal for myself, move one person. If I accomplish that, the post was a success. You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter

So it’s Monday. Another day where I was required to show up for today’s article and I decided to share a small glimpse into my biggest fear hoping bringing the monsters into the light will make them less scary. You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter

Anyone is capable of being possessed by the muse but to do so one must submit to its demands. The muse doesn’t ask for much but of what they ask for there is no negotiation. You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter

Like the brave knight that storms the dragon’s lair to save the princess, he must conquer his fear if he is to find the treasure within. You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter

Create stories you WANT to tell, not what you think the “audience” likes. There is no “audience”. There are people who share the same fears as you, people with dreams and aspirations who hope someone may like their work as much as you hope they like yours.

Do dreams have meaning? I never thought about it as a kid but as I aged, I learned about the subconscious and how our thoughts are projections of our feelings. Carl Jung believed our dreams are a window into our deepest thoughts. You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter

An open letter to 2022 I hope you will join me. Let 2022 be the year we all grow into who we deserve to be.  You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter

The tortured artist hides behind the thin veil of suffering with the understanding that art comes from pain.  Maybe it does, but does it have to?  What if creativity came from a place of excitement? Social Media Curse of Creativity (Article) Instagram Twitter Facebook
