Loving Art-Making in Times of Resistance

Growing Wings
In the past months, I have seen a renewed confidence in my abilities involving creative energy. That I love making art and being an artist, has never been questioned. It brings me such joy to go about challenges calling for imagination and firing up the wide net of invisible and visible connections that make up for, well “me”. I...

The Art Of Slowing Down

“There is more to life than increasing its speed.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Busyness
Busyness is the new currency by which we measure our success and probably fulfillment. It has become the status symbol no one talks about, woven into our work, and lives. If you are not busy you do not have a life!

Busyness is reflected in our phones and computer screens...

Secret Lives. Tell Your Story Before is Too Late

Under the expert guidance of a skilled facilitator and through a rich tapestry of discussion, reflection, and constructive feedback, we have delved into the...

Developing the Restraint to Not Start Another Project

Managing your ideas is as important as generating them.

Photo by Sieuwert Otterloo on Unsplash

I have always had a giant list of projects I want to get to, spanning several notebooks and Google docs. The Arduino alarm clock I want to make. A painting series on oceans and clouds. The novel I’m currently writing.
The ideas would accumulate...

This Is Why You Should Be A Multipotentialite: How To Cope With Social Distancing Stress

The Covid-19 Pandemic has come with a wave of social distancing that is putting a lot of distress on many of us. For people who have spent their lives pursuing only one passion, the lockdown has become a barrier to do what makes them feel alive especially when the resources required to see through such passions cannot be managed from...

The Turning of a New Year

Technically, the idea of time as a definable “thing”, is a human concept.

Sure, there is the inexorable forward progression of time (at least that we know of); the turning of the planet, the rising and setting of the sun, seasons changing, the process of aging, etc. We can see “time” at work all around us. This is, without a doubt,...

Whatever This Is…

The Place of Innocence in a Grown-Up World.
“Sometimes I return back to the state of mind I had as a child when I believed nothing was impossible.” ― Jonathan Harnisch
For many years I wrestled with life, at least the life someone within me thought I should be living.

I have little memories of my childhood and what I remember was enmeshed in...

Knowledge and Learning

Once upon a time, there was a child who was very curious. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition coming from a toddler, but that was what everybody got if they said something that was new or sounded interesting to her. Throughout her development, this trait remained visible and she got to be known as “The Why Girl”.
Thankfully, in her 40s, a...

A Cycle of Negativity Hard to Break
These past months have been a revelation about the way I tend to assimilate life’s events. I am both, surprised and annoyed by the realization of how parts of myself working against each other may have contributed to bringing about the kind of wavering outcomes that leave me baffled or plainly frustrated.

I consider myself...

“There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.” – Louis L’Amour

(Re)Connecting

Recently I have been thinking a lot about connections, on how to keep them alive, and on how to rekindle the ones that have faded over time.

Of course that also means figuring out which connections to keep and which ones to release, because time and energy are limited, especially for an introvert mom of three...

TMT & Immortality: Or, Turning 49

So, today I just entered the last year of my 5th decade, the last year of the first half of the first century of my life. Well, the last century too, I suppose. But that’s the problem, isn’t it? Next year, I turn 50 and still, unfortunately, and to my bafflement, am not immortal.

It is a question my husband and...

Honoring the Passions We Can't Do (Right Now)

We multipotentialites at any given time have a multitude of varied interests and passions swirling around us like so many planets in orbit.

As the New Year begins, we might be looking over our interests, maybe with delight, maybe with excitement and anticipation, but also maybe with a little bit of overwhelm (okay, a lot), and possibly some dread.

There are so...

creativity Versus Creativity, What’s the Difference?

Sometimes I refer to “creativity” in two different ways. At times I use the “little ‘c’ creativity” and in others, I use the “big ‘C’ Creativity”. So, what’s going on? Well, in the time-honored tradition of capitalizing words in order to give them importance, or a “name”, I have separated two different “modes” of creativity. While both modes are important,...

Let’s Talk About Love, Baby

Reflections after Valentine’s day.
February is a terrible time of the year.

There is absolutely nothing happening. Not a holiday in sight. Everyone is still broke from their Christmas efforts and a depressing long, dry January. It is still cold and grey, rainy as well if you are particularly unlucky. Often, we can at least have the consolation that it will go...

5 years ago there were less wars in the world, the pandemic had not yet started, and 11,258 scientists, spanning 153 countries, issued a warning that we needed to act quickly since we were already living a climate emergency then.

And amongst the positive things that happened 5 years ago, there is one that stands out: on November 5th 2019, Evidence...

The Soul of Resilience. Turning Wounds into Gold

One of those sleepless nights that seem to be plaguing me lately, I opened my tablet and clicked on some streaming app of the many that have joined my screen during the pandemic. TV has a dozing effect on me, I chose some random movie about coming to age and first love. The only thing that left an impression was...

The Shameful Versus the Sacred Shoulds

It took the Universe fourteen billion years to make YOU. There are a lot of things that you “Should” be doing. But let’s talk about this idea of the Should.

“Should” has become a dirty word. “Shoulds”, “Have Tos”, “Musts”, and their fellow brethren have earned themselves the honor (or dishonor) of being called anathema (wrong or bad) in the “Go-Get-Em’”...

There was a time, and perhaps still so, that video games have been...

Life in “Market Earth.” How “Overused” Words Turned into a Wakeup Call.

It is a cold wintry day; the Arctic front shows off with record low temperatures and I am prepared to defrost the engine of New Year’s resolutions for a fresh start.

My husband can’t walk past a hardware store, and we both can’t walk past an art supply store, without the swell...
