You don’t have to be an artist to use creativity this way


Hello Reader,

You don't have to be good at art for a creative practice to be useful.

That took me a while to understand because it's very easy to turn almost anything into another thing to do well. I know that pattern.

But the point of the creative pause isn't the finished page. The point is what you notice while you're making it.

Maybe you write down what happened and realize fear added three paragraphs that were never facts.

Maybe you pick up a colored pencil because you don't have the words yet.

Maybe telling the story again helps you see that the meaning you've carried for years no longer fits who you are now.

That's what I'll be exploring in my presentation for the 2026 Creative Care Summit, happening virtually November 9–12.

My session is called The Creative Pause: Using Journaling, Storytelling, and Mindful Creativity to Move from Fear to Awareness.

If you've ever written something down and suddenly seen it differently, you already know how powerful a little space can be.

The summit is free, and presentations will be available to registered attendees for 48 hours after their release.

I'd love to have you join us.

Hello Reader, Sometimes you don’t need another answer. You need enough quiet to hear the one that’s been trying to get your attention. I often say, “The ego screams, and the soul whispers.” For me, journaling has been one way to quiet that noise. My relationship with journaling hasn’t always been easy. I stopped writing for a time after someone read my private journal. But when I eventually returned to it, I discovered how much writing helped me listen to myself. Putting my thoughts on paper...

Disguises of Fear

Hello Reader, Fear rarely announces itself by saying, “I’m afraid.” Sometimes it looks like overthinking. Or perfectionism. People-pleasing. Control. Anger. Even hyper-independence. I know that last one well. For years, I believed doing everything myself made me stronger and gave me more control over the outcome. What I eventually realized was that I didn’t have control. I had armor. That’s how convincing fear can be. My newest article, How Fear Disguises Itself in Your Life, explores the...
