Don't Give Up Your Poetry
Existence. Being-ness. Reality. Mindfulness. Presence. Universal Time. Whatever you call it, this Force we call Life has an inimitable way of standing silently behind us, removing its hands from our eyes, and revealing the unexpected to us in the most curious of ways. Its gloved hands fly away from our eyes!

A Creative Lifestyle Needs Structure
Many creative people scoff at the idea of structuring their creative life. They believe that a creative lifestyle needs to be a free form; a fluid life. They feel that placing structure on their lives will place their art inside of a box. The problem is, adding structure to your creative lifestyle does not mean adding structure to your art.

The Value of An Ideas Notebook
It's been almost a month since I subscribed to MasterClass -- thank you to MasterClass for offering a 2-for-1 deal, and thank you to my Mom for making the dream come true! (It's been on my bucket list for over two years now, but I continued to let the price stop me ... less than a month in, and I can confidently say it is ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE INVESTMENT, and I will be subscribing every year for the rest of my life!)

4 Reasons Why Nurses Make Great Entrepreneurs And Freelancers
The other night I was on a Zoom coaching call. I wasn't the coach; I was one of the coach's clients, to be precise. Anyway, part of my share with our group was about a new freelance project I launched, and I was asking for feedback from others. It's worth sharing that I'm the only nurse entrepreneur in the group.

Mind Food
Food is essential for us humans, in order to survive, that's no secret. Our body needs to absorb that food in order to supply the required energy needed for our various organs and tissues to function accordingly. When we fail to feed our body with the nutrients it needs, the first things we notice that starts to happen is our body becomes weaker, as our muscles begin to shrink, and we begin to lose weight. As a few days pass by without food, our body starts to basically feed on itself, turning to its energy storage, such as carbohydrates and fats, but once these reserve energy levels are used up, that's when things get really serious. Our vital organs start to shrink, our body temperature significantly drops, the immune system is severely weakened, and the kidneys begin failing. Even our concentration levels deteriorate, as the likes of hallucinations and convulsions set in. As the body consumes the remainder of its fat and carbohydrate storage, it begins to feed off the muscle protein, including from the heart. From here, it's only a matter of time, and the body can no longer function, which of course leads us to perish. Starvation is not exactly a very inspiring and motivating topic to talk of, that's for sure. Sadly, we live in a world where it is also real, as an estimation has revealed that 1 in 9 people globally suffer from undernourishment. For those of us who are privileged enough to have access to clean water and healthy food, I think we should always remember to take a moment to be grateful, and understand how blessed we truly are in life, because there are many others who would die for as much as a bite of an apple. So why is there a need to discuss starvation on a blog designed for motivation, personal development, and inspiration?

CREATIVE WRITING: Breaking Down Characters Through Music
Whenever I first get a seed of an idea for my writing, I immediately turn to music to help it grow. If it’s a scene or a character that needs to be built or further developed, music is my key to unlocking motivations and events. This has been something I have used for much of my writing life and has given me an eclectic taste in music, as well as a smorgasbord of tales to tell.
