This week I felt so insignificant in my creative pursuits that I almost quit. Perhaps you can relate… There’s the guilt that comes up for spending time on things that might seem selfish or frivolous. There’s the financial reality that has you married to your day job. There’s panic and overwhelm that [...]
one of my not-so-secret weapons: WomanCode
You may or may not know this, but I wouldn’t be doing the creative and coaching work I do today if it weren’t for a chance introduction to Alisa Vitti 7 years ago. I came to her feeling lost and depressed, having been on the birth control pill for 5 years and diagnosed with PCOS [...]
a guessing game with a purpose
You know that game “which [blank] are you most like?” – where everyone goes around the table and tries to identify what kind of animal or car or cocktail each person would be? I love that game. And in honor of the coming of Spring, I’m curious to know what kind of plant you are. [...]
what daylight savings time means for your creativity
Maybe they created Daylight Savings Time as a form of weird punishment. Farmer guy holding pitchfork who coordinates this custom says: “Guess what? The winter’s almost over, the sun is about to come out a lot more, but ha-ha, sucker, you have to lose an hour of sleep first in order to get it!” [...]
how being YOU will make a difference
Here we are, post-Valentine’s Day. After a day when everything is supposed to be about love, not everyone might be feeling it. So let me take the opportunity to tell you that in whatever state you find yourself – heart-full or heart-broken – you are loved. And while I wished I could have been everywhere [...]
get excited about what you’re doing
It’s hard to figure out where to begin this post. If my words could match the state of my mind (and my apartment) they would probably look something like this: asldkfjseiotudslwerisudklfgiurytvns328974298trour4nfvowlfdsg!!!!!!! That could be interpreted in a few ways: hysteria, chaos, a big mess, or, perhaps, excitement. I’ll choose excitement. And after consulting the moon [...]
performance project for One Billion Rising
Dance with me on V-day! On February 14th, 2013, one billion people around the world are rising to end violence against women. It’s like a giant dance revolution. In honor of the cause, I’ll be busting moves in the storefront window of ABC Home & Carpet on February 14th from 4pm – 5pm. This movement means [...]
why you should plan things halfway
I halfway believe in planning. There. I said it. This might sound crazy from someone who deems herself a coach and has a business to run and a life to lead like we all do, but it’s the truth. It’s not that I don’t plan. In fact, I do quite a bit. I sometimes agonize [...]
happy birthday, Creative Fridays
Today is January 13th, the 1 year anniversary of Creative Fridays. On Friday the 13th of January 2012 I held the first workshop that (unknowingly at the time) would develop into what I’m doing today. I’m proud and humbled to say that my life is dramatically different because of this process. When I started the [...]
who inspired the love of art in you? – Passport to BAM essay contest finalist
I got an email around 4pm on Friday notifying me that the essay I submitted to the Passort to BAM contest got selected as 1 of 10 finalists. (For those of you not in the nyc area, BAM is the Brooklyn Academy of Music – one of the most amazing art centers for theater, dance, [...]
