"Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard." ~ Anne Sexton

Look to this Day, for it is Life – the very Life

Look to this Day,
for it is Life – the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
the Bliss of Growth,
the Glory of Action,
the Splendor of Beauty.
For yesterday is already a dream
and tomorrow is only a vision;
but today, well-lived,
makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this Day.
Such is the salutation of the Dawn.

~ by Kalidasa, Indian Sanksrit Playwright and Poet, Hindu Philosopher, 4 – 5th century A.D. (One of several translations from the original Sanksrit.)

What makes your heart skip a beat? ⁠ ⁠ For me,

What makes your heart skip a beat? ⁠
⁠
For me, it's the chorus of spring peepers (that's Pseudacris crucifer for you Latinists ;-)) that means spring is finally here. ⁠
⁠
I also love helping people and organizations harness their creativity so they can innovate more, collaborate better, achieve greater results, and make a difference. ⁠

Want me to design a team building experience or retreat for you and your team? Let's talk!

What makes your heart skip a beat?⁠ ⁠ For me,

What makes your heart skip a beat?⁠
⁠
For me, it's creativity! Even better when we can all create together!⁠
⁠
I mean, just look at these beautiful "spring fever" dream catchers, gratitude booklets, and freeform collages created by people who joined my #creative #workshops in my studio as part of the first annual Creative Day @whitingmills⁠
⁠
Thank you to all the creative souls and friends of artists, artisans and makers who came to create, connect, collaborate, and champion creativity!⁠
⁠
P.S. I also love helping people like you, teams and organizations harness their creativity so they can innovate more, collaborate better, achieve greater results, and make a difference. ⁠

Want me to help you up level your creativity? Let's talk!

Did you know that sea otters have a little pockets

Did you know that sea otters have a little pockets near their chests where they keep their favorite rocks?⁠
⁠
Yup, these critters often use a rock to crack open shellfish and clams, and they store it (and the tasty morsels they find!) in one of their pockets.⁠
⁠
Okay, they're technically folds of loose skin but, still, how otterly, I mean, utterly 😉 amazing!⁠
⁠
I think otters are on to something: To break through obstacles and seize life's treasures you sometimes need a little help. Even better if that support is personal and portable!⁠
⁠
Pictured here are two of my personal talismans.⁠

☮️ What are yours? I'd love to hear!
