Episode Four: Leaning on creative practice and love

Episode Five: Surrender and slow evaluation

Correction I mentioned “Be like water” which I thought was in the Tao Te Ching, but is actually a Bruce Lee quote. I am including the full quote here as I do find it insightful. I found this here. [https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/29138-be-like-water-making-its-way-through-cracks-do-not] “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” ―Bruce Lee Other Notes: Buy my book: grace in every moment [https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params=lbolp9h2sYhmPYlpg4MvPVIwTbCacZoIKHdjanCSae9] Let’s Connect!

Bonus Episode: The Collage Pod

Today I share the first reading from my collage deck made on playing cards. There are 43 cards all together. Our three cards were climb, depth and curiosity. I riff on this reading, provide message, prompts and a challenge to create your own collage based on this reading. I share the process of my collage creation during the video. If enjoyed, I’ll try to add this type of bonus at the beginning of each month — time and health allowing. There are now 3-card readings available from this deck on my ko-fi for $11. You’ll receive a PDF with a photo of the cards pulled, the message plus prompts and exercises to work with. Grab one here. [https://ko-fi.com/s/b84c0529ba] Upon purchase you’ll be prompted to provide me with your email, and I’ll send it off 24-48 hours later. It’s a fun process. Let’s Connect!
