Choices
I had the rare opportunity to go out with my partner yesterday. We have kids…enough said. Over a light lunch I asked my partner for some starting points for blogs, some inspiration from which to write about. He’s quite good at this and really gets what I mean and suggested a couple of ideas but [...]
Doing whatever is necessary
“…and doing whatever is necessary to achieve and sustain a creative life” This is one of Tarcher’s (1999) principles for creators, the others being hushing the mind (yeh right), holding the intention to create, making creative choices, honouring the creative process, befriending one’s creative work, evaluating ones work and doing whatever is necessary…. Hushing your [...]
Ideas that shout at you
The ideas have been very angry with me for the last few months, especially the I read someone’s comment on a blog page recently. The blog was about creativity and sustainable wellbeing. At my point of viewing, there was a blog comment on the top of the list and it said something along these lines: [...]
Writers Blockage… need a plunger?
Having not been able to write for the last 2 months, I have given myself many many excuses (or if I am feeling gentler, they are just reasons!). “ I have been so busy you know” “Its been the school holidays” “I’m blocked” “I have to do really important business things” “I am so tired [...]
So my VA has asked me to write 300 words on why Discovery Party is different from other life coaching!
Well if I only have 300 words I have to choose them very carefully. Discovery Party is very different to other life coaching. It’s a fun, relaxed, experience that you have with your friends or perhaps your team at work. It’s a bit like having a night in with a bottle or two of [...]
on turning things upside down (or inside out!)
Originally this post was called “on painting upside down”. It occurred to me to write this as I had turned a painting upside down, and realised it was much easier to work that way sometimes. I then realised that I like doing many things upside down and it has so many benefits. So bear with [...]
…on quitting brownies
Do you ever get the feeling that we interfere, force things and try and control a bit too much. I do. I have been desperate to find a name or identify for a new product for 3 months now. My house is littered with mind maps, sticky notes and I am getting quite grumpy about [...]
…on being enough
Having lacked confidence forever and being constantly in search of reassurance that I am doing well, I feel I have necessary qualifications to write this article. Practicing the affirmation “I am enough” has made me aware of how not believing it, drives us all so much. - I am not slim enough so I berate [...]
…on simplicity
We seem to try a bit too hard at most things these days. Take “simplicity” for example. I often hear myself saying I’m gonna work (note the word “work”) to simplify my life. Already I am primed for it to be a process that requires more effort than I currently put into my “unsimplified” life? [...]
Summon your genie!
I’m sitting here listening to the recent BBC program about Steve Jobs which you can see here. I say “listen” because as usual I am multi-tasking to a certain extent. I have listened and watched and read so much about Jobs lately as we all have. He is one of life’s creators, no doubt. Creativity, [...]
