The One Hundred Day Creative Challenge: Day 17 Oh the cringe factor of reading my first book! It’s not TERRIBLE, it’s just that I see the errors, the poor writing, the ways in which I have changed as a person since I write those words ten years ago. It’s like that 80’s hairstyle that my […]
The One Hundred Day Creative Challenge: Day16 I am an obedient sort of person. A rule-keeper rather than a rule-breaker. I always wait for the green light to cross. I don’t enter when it says ‘Don’t Enter.’ I want to do the ‘right’ thing. When it comes to writing the temptation to always seek permission […]

The One Hundred Day Creative Challenge: Day 6 Not giving up is one of the brave choices we make. Whether it’s a relationship, a job, a creative pursuit or faith. Tenacity is a quality that brings to mind doggedness, an adventurous spirit, courage and daring. Living a creative life takes more than talent, it takes […]
The One Hundred Day Creative Challenge: Day 5 Today I’m thinking about how I’m going to approach the New Year.
