Spring. Why not use it?
Spring is the season that nature uses to wake up and grow. Maybe you've felt it since the days started getting longer and warmer - an urge to do something more, or different? (Besides go to Home Depot and buy mulch and pretty potted plants and vegetable starts?)...
Creativity takes courage.
HER: “I’m not creative." Argue enough for your limitations and sure enough - they’re yours. ME: "What if you’re wrong?" What if; your definition of creativity is too rigid? it’s there within you but you don't recognize it? you just need to get out of your own way...
What’s missing?
A friend remarked recently about how tired she was all the time. She wondered what could possibly be making her feel so tired, that by early evening she felt "exhausted" and could think of nothing else but going to bed. Running through the list of possible culprits;...
