In the Works: A Workshop on Creating Intentional Spaces, an Online Shop and More

Despite the break in momentum over the holidays I've still been dreaming, scheming and working on creative business projects. My soul and brain are full - the good kind of full.

Here are a few things in the works...

An online shop

I know I know, this one's been in the works for a while. Last fall I started working on it, this month I plan to finish it. It's coming, I promise!

prints available online, soon!

A workshop on creating intentional spaces

This project came to me quickly and has been growing, consuming me in a very good way. I believe our homes and physical spaces feed us, supporting not only who we are today but who we want to become. Imagine what would happen if we all had spaces that supported us in being the best "us" we could be!

I'm energized by this project and I'm enjoying the process of putting it together. I plan to dry run it locally and see where it leads. I'm also toying with the idea of converting it to an electronic format and offer it here, I think that could be a lot of fun. Stay tuned...

And more

A line of greeting cards, a newsletter, consulting... all projects percolating as I enter the new year.

It's been a full and inspiring few months since I left my 9-5 job and after playing with many ideas and concepts, this month - or at least this week - is all about playing with specifics.

I'm tapping into my left brain, complementing the power of vision with the power of planning and action. Though I geek out on brainstorming and bubble charts, part of me is a little giddy at the prospect of getting down to plans and spreadsheets. <Hee!>

This work transition journey has been good to me so far, I'm learning a LOT. Thank you for being here along with me. I am grateful.

@ Rebecca - Writing it down is the first step. When we do that we get it out of our tired brain! And one action at a time... it's all we can do. : )

@ Jan - Thank you Jan! Best wishes to you too! : )
