(Week 105)
REFLECTION, 2012
Word for January: SUPPORT
Is it time to clean out your friends closet?
Friendships are like clothes. They have a certain fit. Some fit a season. Others a lifetime. It’s because of our evolution, our ever becoming process. Preferences change. Over time, some clothes no longer feel right.
We transform for good reason. We’ve got a job to do. It’s the reason we’re here. Our growth is the process that gets us there. Our authentic self, the vehicle that gets us there. Hold tight.
Letting go of a friendship is painful. Grieve. Give it time. Find a friend or two who will grab your hand and help you to the other side. Don’t resist, allow the emotions. They’re making room.
You may not see it for a while, but in the end, both parties benefit. Both are now available to find something that supports them. Something that fits them beautifully. Something that celebrates their assets!
Really, why have any clothes that don’t do that.

STUDIO SHIFT
So yesterday, during my morning pages, I got this brilliant idea. Make videos to address the creative struggle. Videos that remove the blocks so creatives can reach their potential. After all, this gift can ultimately bless all of us. If I can help that, I want to!
So, as you’re reading this, think of a problem you’re having with your creativity and send it to me. Something that’s keeping you from moving forward. Just press “reply” to this email. It will begin the experiment. Who knows what will come? I love that about the creative process. (Fits me perfectly.)
