I want to take this moment to say...
THANK YOU for reading, Reader!!
Thank you for replying to the newsletters that meant something to you.
Thank you for recommending it to people.
Thank you for encouraging me to keep going.
Some of you have been with me from the clunky start, through multiple email platforms, random email designs, and stuck with me whilst I figured out my life (and business)—publicly.
Writing to you every (ish) week for the last 6 years has brought me so much joy. It's become a creative outlet I never thought I'd have. And helped me trust myself and my voice.
I know it looks easy—it isn't 😆
But, it's so worth it.
I actually started writing this newsletter as a way to stay accountable to creating.
Work was so demanding and exhausting over the course of my career, that I slowly let go of it all—everything I used to love. Drawing, painting, pottery, singing—even making thank you cards.
I'd get bursts of inspiration and want to just... DO something. Anything!
But every time I opened an old sketchbook, I was embarrassed by old drawings. I hated what I made. I closed it, ashamed, and played a video game instead.
I work with so many people in that same boat.
Out of practice, creatively restless, searching for direction and meaning.
To me, there's been nothing worse than wanting to do something and not being able to do it.
It doesn't have to be that way.
If I didn't play, I never would've stumbled upon my truest love: creating freely.
I want to give everyone the opportunity to discover and share their creative voice.
Their passions. Controversial opinions. Their creative quirks & interests (movie reviewers—I see you!)
No more self-silencing. Waiting for someone else to take the lead. Hoping for a 'better tomorrow'. Nope.
❤️ THE TRUTH YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ❤️
We can't plan our way to the life we want. We need to do new things. Scary things. Because as we get older, we lose confidence. So we gotta stay sharp, build mental muscle, and move boldly towards the life we want. And the only way to do that is with cheekiness, poise, permission to be shit, and...
...ACCOUNTABILITY.
The only way creatives can do anything worthwhile is with accountability. I'm sorry, but you know it's true.
(Your job calls this a 'deadline'.)
