I’m surprised at how often ideas come to me while driving and listening to podcasts...it’s as if hearing others’ expressions ignites something in me. Oftentimes journaling will lead to a connection of small nuggets that become a larger idea.

In terms of getting in touch with my creative self - I had a yearning desire to write for years but it wasn’t until I flipped the limiting narrative in my head (thanks to a life-changing retreat) that I was able to start honoring that desire. I recently discovered these wise words from author Chelsea Bieker that gets at this in a similar way: https://open.substack.com/pub/chelseabieker/p/writing-isnt-hard

I wrote about honoring my creative self as my very first Substack post a year ago! And I’m still here :) https://open.substack.com/pub/theconsciousconsumer/p/unleashing-my-sprinkles

I love hearing success stories… and still being here a year later is success in my book! Well done, and thanks for sharing that encouragement to keep on keeping on. 💕
