Your Character’s Path
When you’re writing a character, don’t forget to make bad choices an option presented to them as a way to fulfill their desires. We as humans have to calculate risks all the time. Those in leadership positions have to calculate risks that may affect more than themselves. Those who aren’t in leadership still have toContinue reading “Your Character’s Path”
The River of Creativity
I like to think of creativity as a river. All the creativity and innovation in the world is in that river. You just have to wade the rivers of creativity and let it come to you. Sometimes it can take hours to capture the thing that piques your interest. Sometimes it comes to you inContinue reading “The River of Creativity”
Dream Home
My dream home is a four bedroom house with a dinning room. I love my home now too. It’s the idea of us all having our own room that keeps me dreaming of more. Our home now is wonderful. It’s our first home. Something about it being our first home makes it meaningful. When weContinue reading “Dream Home”
Quick Reminder
Keep going I care about my readers. I’m grateful for every view that I receive. I say that, because sometimes I feel like I’m not putting enough effort into the writing I share. Not enough soul or passion. Sometimes I feel like maybe I’m not spending enough time writing. I definitely don’t feel like I’mContinue reading “Quick Reminder”

What does it take to take care of yourself? What does it take to say no to the things that don’t align with your values? My initial answer is a job. An income. But that doesn’t make much sense at all. It doesn’t take having a job to say no to things that don’t suitContinue reading “Self Care”
Your Words
Don’t swallow your words before they reach the keyboard. First drafts are supposed to be riddled with scattered thoughts. You are supposed to let it all out and organize it later. When we don’t allow our minds the space to unload, we lose that connection to our creativity. There’s writers out there writing entire novelsContinue reading “Your Words”
I’m not always able to work at full capacity. It’s important for me to be honest with myself about that. I am a social entrepreneur because I consistently show up. Not because I’m good at it, not because I can raise millions of dollars over night or that I have some outrageous following. I’m aContinue reading
“Best Option”
Yesterday I briefly spoke about how I’m adjusting to going into non profit work (You can read it here.). One of the things I said was, “so, this seems like the best option.” I just want to explore that for moment. There is clearly some hesitation in that statement. Maybe even some insecurity. Let’s beContinue reading ““Best Option””
The Adjustment
I’ve been a stay at home mom or in school for the last 8 years. Adjusting to starting a nonprofit has been tough. It’s tough for many reasons but even so, this seems like the best option because it’s something I can do for a long time. I’m a sensitive, committed, and loyal individual soContinue reading “The Adjustment”
