Eat Yourself Skinny

January 13, 2013 1 Comment


Sometimes truth just seems like an oxymoron… eat yourself skinny?

But you have to eat?

“Not eating” is a terrible way to lose weight and no nutritionalist would recommend it.

Do we moralize “neutral” things in our creative processes and in our day to day lives?

Sex, drugs, food, alcohol or anger… all of these things have a righteous place, they are each heavenly things in the right context of being.

Worst of all, we don’t simply do this with substances or emotions often we do it with people, when we apply morality to people out of context.

Without listening, without empathy, without fully understanding the circumstances of another’s life, we cannot cast judgement and doing so will greatly lesson the power of our creative lives.

A Safer Way To Look Years Younger

January 12, 2013 0 Comments


False promises… the easy road may lead you straight to hell.

I am not a fear monger or a deeply conservative moralist trying to impose upon you the beauty of the narrow and windy path that is so difficult to travel.

I am simply saying beware of false promises, although the water is warm and tranquil, there maybe sharks prowling around underneath the surface.

Unfortunately there are a number of dangerous sharks that swim in the water in the “Bay Of Entertainment.”

People who will guarantee your success or lay you rich with false promises if you will uncross your legs on the casting couch.

Don’t…

instead be at peace with the story of your life and do not take the easy road.

The false promises of people who smile just a little too much as they promise you the keys to heaven will nearly always leave you with a very bad taste in your mouth.

The Guaranteed Quit Smoking Cessation Program

January 11, 2013 4 Comments


In case you are wondering I am actually using “SPAM Titles” from by trash box for blog inspiration for the rest of the month. This particular email guaranteed that I could quit smoking if I paid for their program; I don’t smoke so I guess I’ll never know for sure… but…

Although we’re drawn to a life of safety, a life of total success, there is no such thing as a guarantee.

Neither should there be.

This is a rough tough broken old world, full of human frailty and potential obstacles that could get in our way and foil our plans.

It’s filthy down on the street, we make choices that affect each other deeply; we sometimes even sabotage our own plans for success.

I’m not saying that you should simply keep on smoking and take another draw on that cigarette; I’m just saying that there no guarantees that your life will be infinitely better if you succeed.

Alone This Holiday Season – Find Somebody Special

January 10, 2013 0 Comments


Everybody needs somebody; this is especially true in the area of our creative process.

It’s tempting to try and go it alone… don’t.

When a creative marriage occurs between two or more souls carrying the same kind of vision incredible things can happen.

Besides nobody really, truly wants to spend their whole lives creating alone?

What am I saying?

Don’t walk these steps on your creative journey alone, find a mentor, find a partner, join a group, take a class…

Find a safe place to both listen and share and your own creativity will grow exponentially.

The New Year Romance Is On – Join Free

January 9, 2013 0 Comments


Do you feel lonely?

Will 2013 bring you the love that you have been looking for?

What are you looking for?

We are all in need of a little creative romance. That the thing we do, that creative expression of who we are that simply brings us to life.

Without creativity we are simply following a recipe or playing a part in a cold, remote God’s giant human algorithm.

I don’t believe God is cold and I do not believe that you are NOT creative… remember your first love…

How To Use Junk Email For Blogging Inspiration

January 8, 2013 4 Comments


Your inspiration can’t run dry.

Really?

We can be inspired by both the things we like and the things that we can’t stand the sight of.

It’s all about perspective and whether you are prepared to accept that the “being inspired” part of the equation is actually the easiest part of all.

The difficult part is doing the work.

For a example a great to place to look for unique blogging inspiration is in the trash; that’s right take a look at the titles of the emails in your junk folder… could you be inspired by them?

Remember, inspiration is not about looking for a fire, it’s simply looking for a dry piece of wood that could start the whole thing.

Why It Aint Easy Parenting Artistic Kids

January 7, 2013 10 Comments


I’m sure that I confuse my parents quite a lot.

After going to college(university) and graduating as a Veterinary Surgeon; my future was apparently safely mapped out in front of me.

I would never touch poverty, I would most likely always be gainfully employed in a profession that was easy to comprehend and simple (and with some pride) to explain to others.

Then I went and gave it all away.

From their perspective, I am sure this was a foolish mistake, risky beyond measure, difficult to understand.

From my perspective, it was an obvious choice, to waste my years doing something that I liked BUT that didn’t fullfil my passions; or to take arms against a sea of troubles and give into the dreams that had been in my heart ever since I could remember.

Yes, I have touched poverty on more than one occasion, I have walked, I have stumbled and I have fallen and I have failed far more than I have succeeded BUT at least I have been faithful to the dreams inside of me.
