Creating is magic.
You take ideas (what even are ideas?), filter them through your brain, and then use your hands and heart to make something new, something that didn’t exist before. Your imprint on a canvas, paper, or a piece of wood. Your footprints across a stage or a trail or a school. Your voice in a song, on a podcast, at a rally.
Woah. (Or whoa. Please vote on spelling in the comments.) Creating is pretty cool when you stop and think about it, right?
This thing you do, you’ve been at it for a bit now. You know more than you think you do and the end of the year is a great time to reflect on where you’ve been, what you’ve learned and what you love. To observe your own experience, to learn from it, to declare: This is what I know. This is what I want. This is what I will do.
It has been such a pleasure to be on the road with you. To watch you create and make magic. Now, it’s time for you to take the wheel.
You know more than you think you do.
Remember the magic that is creating.
Be free. (You already are.)
Waving and with lots of love,
Kristin and Margo
Daily Prompts for December
We’ve created daily prompts with a weekly rhythm to help you find a sense of steadiness in your practice.
There’s no right or wrong way to do the prompts. Use them as a warm-up or when you get stuck. Print the calendar and check off the yellow circle on each line if you’d like, or don’t. Some of the prompts are simply a phrase (“a moment when…”), others will invite you to remember or reflect.
Use the prompts as a jumping-off point. Answer them literally or figuratively. Let them take you in whatever direction they take you. Let your responses be weird or wonderful. You can’t mess this up. You’re getting a high five every Friday no matter what.
Mark your calendar for December 19th
Join us Thursday, December 19th at noon ET for our monthly community huddle. It will be held in this Zoom room and is a chance to connect with new folks, chat about this month’s theme, and share our projects.
It’s one part happy hour, one part group coaching, and one part secret society (we’ll give you the signal when you join the huddle).
See you there 🚗 🚙
