How Can Winter Inspire Your Creative Genius?
The winter season is a wonderful time to immerse yourself in the creative process! It brings a rich opportunity to awaken the “creative genius within” by exploring the gifts that are found in nature’s darkness. It allows us to reflect on our personal and creative journeys, taking a closer look at who we are – underneath the layers of life. By looking for the “light” – and knowing that it’s there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered – we can reach a place where our personal reflection begins to shed its own light. It’s a time to ponder where we’ve been on our creative journey, how we got to where we are now – and where to go from here. It’s an opportunity to explore new ways of…

Are You Curious about Digital Journal Writing?
When most of us think of journal writing, we picture ourselves sitting in a big, comfy chair by a window in a coffee shop. We have a hardbound, maybe spiral journal in our hands and our favorite pen – and we’re scribbling away. This creates the space we need to let our thoughts pour out of our mind and onto the page.

These days, digital journaling is picking up momentum. It’s a form of collecting and documenting one’s thoughts on…

Whether we realize it or not, many of us are stuck in a “money pattern” – and it affects everything we think, see, and do around money. Our beliefs about money have been handed down to us through generations, in a variety of different ways, shaping how we view the subject of money. Think about the news you see on television or hear on the radio or read in the newspaper. How much of it is fear-based? How much of it stems from scarcity – the fear of never having enough or being good enough? Our relationship with money is not just a series of practical actions. If that’s all it required, everyone would have an easy time with it. The truth is – there’s…

How Darkness Can Inspire Your Creativity
Are you going through a difficult time, unsure of your next steps – or contemplating a change in direction with no idea of how to move forward? Do you feel stuck in your creative process, wondering how to best express yourself as you transition into the next phase of life? We’ll soon be moving into another new moon phase – which always brings a time of new beginnings. Where one door closes, another one opens. During a new moon phase, the sky is completely black, other than the surrounding stars.

It brings to our awareness the potential that darkness has in…

Do You Feel Stuck in the Middle of Nowhere?
A few years ago, there was an American television commercial that showed a sports utility vehicle driving through a remote mountain scene. And the voice-over said, “You can find yourself in the middle of nowhere – or in the middle of nowhere you can find yourself.” This phrase seems to capture the sentiment of so many people in my life right now – clients, colleagues, friends, even me. Some are dealing with major life transitions that feel painfully uncomfortable – while others are preparing for new beginnings and fresh starts that involve a sense of unknowingness about the future. If we take a closer look at the first part of the phrase, “You can find yourself in the middle of nowhere” – we may feel…
