Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It…
In order to truly thrive as an artist, your quest is to playfully engage your Younger Self on a regular basis. But how do you accomplish that in the course of your very full daily life? This is something I’ve been exploring in my personal and professional life for more than two decades. Over the course […]
Play Is Productive – Younger Self and Creativity
There’s a concept that I often share with my one-on-one book midwife clients and during various workshops. It comes from one of my favorite authors of all time, Starhawk.

We became empty-nesters. Quester broke his ankle, badly, and had to have (not one but two) surgeries. BlackLion got a new job outside […]
