Whim creates curiosity wherever it goes. That’s[...]

I am human and therefore move through the same cycles of energy (Creation, stagnation, destruction) as everyone else. My cycles just happen to move faster because I constantly am practicing this, I know what to look for that signals I’m low on creative energy, and I have the tools I need to get that cre[...]
If you've watched Amazon Prime's Oh. What. Fun. starring Michelle Pfeiffer, you've probably found yourself pausing the movie just to admire the house.

My favorite mug is one that I purchased probably 20 years ago. It has painted elephants all around the outside with decorative details on the handle. I’ve always loved elephants and objects that look like they come from the other side of the world. It’s no surprise that eventually this mug wore out, like all things do. It cracked down the entire side, leaking any liquid it held. Not ideal for a mug. I tried t[...]
