Exploring the idea of creative wholeness is one of my passions as a creativity coach, intuitive, and writer. So this weekend when I selected The World card from The Wild Unknown deck to kick off my Sunday meditation, it got me thinking about the concept in a visionary way. I blog regularly about the idea of creative wholeness in its pieces, providing insights and ways to deepen a personal creative practice or mindset. However, I was still drawn to writing … [Read more...]
Wake Up to Your New Creative Dawn
January 8, 2018 By Leave a Comment
As we transition into the fresh 365 days we call 2018, I find myself drawn to the idea of a new creative dawn - and what that really means for each of us. In some ways it’s about tossing out old habits and finding new healthier ones. Letting go of baggage and getting clear on what we value and want with a more empowered focus. Setting goals and intentions. You know, standard January fare. These very practical approaches are important tools, but focus … [Read more...]

Redirecting the Mind’s Relentless Review of What We Create

Gut Feeling Versus Brain: Who Wins?
February 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Do you think it or feel it? Decisions, that is. I do a little of both in most situations. I used to be all head and logic, thinking myself into a tornado of what-ifs. They would circle me at higher and higher speeds, increasing in number by the minute. Soon I was whipped into a frenzy of anxiety and frustration, when nothing had actually even happened yet. On the flip side, thoughts like, "maybe its best to be patient and see what happens, got jacked by my brain and ego screaming -- MY WAY, … [Read more...]
