You don’t need more time. You need to decide. — Seth Godin Dear Creativity, Some days feel ordinary on the surface — just another Saturday, just another item on the calendar. Yesterday, the date itself seemed to call something forward. And right after that, something else stirred: a fellowship I’d been circling for weeks. You’ve been walking with me for a long time now —sometimes whispering, sometimes nudging, In my application, I wrote this:
We need a new model for what professional thriving looks like. A model that doesn’t just focus on output, but on wholeness, purpose, and play. This work creates that model.

Wasn’t this what you wanted? But you’ve never been about straight lines. You’ve always been more about movement — the kind that surprises, pauses, and pivots. This weekend, I was driving with an old friend through Garden of the...
Dear Creativity, In a recent gathering, someone asked, “What do you need to release to be able to fully participate in this experience?” Without hesitation, I said, “Time.” I’ve been thinking about that answer ever since. My relationship with time has felt a little off lately. Some days, it feels compressed, like I have to stay constantly in motion just to keep up. Other days, time feels like it’s accelerating beyond anything I can grasp. How is it already June? I don’t feel like I’ve lived...
