Episode 24: January Distractions and a Busy Birthday

I talk about my birthday, practicing self-care, trying to remember to love myself, why I’m still stalled on the artist’s way by Julia Cameron, the way that the current events in the news is keeping me tied up vs focusing on creating, the way depression and some other unexpected reasons are also playing into that inability to focus. I also share a quick personal achievement that is very exciting! I talk about grief and missing Mom, and how weird it is that she’s gone, and I wonder about the seconds vs the firsts of things without her. I also mention this cool thing I learned about recently called the Telephone of the Wind, and I urge you to look it up. As always, I swear and talk about a lot of heavy stuff; you've been warned.
