More emotions for the April Fooling with Faces and Forms creative challenge inside the Creative Sandbox Community. Today’s prompt was “happy,” but I threw in three “confused” faces too, because I’m still trying to figure out my visual shorthand for “confused”!
🖍
Yesterday one of the members posted that doing these daily prompts has had a very positive impact on her, that in fact, she’s struggled with depression for 30 years, and this “tiny and daily” creative practice has been the most effective “treatment”!
🖍
Talk about a testimony! 🖍
That’s the power of creative expression, folks. And that’s the power of community, which helps us get to our creative expression when the rest of the world seems to conspire against us.
🖍
When we create, we are unstoppable. (If you want some of that community support for yourself, sign up to get an invitation inside at http://bit.ly/2pPbRDZ 🖍
Doors are opening again next month.)

I’ll keep working at it! .

156: Failures and Successes from My Calligraphy Workshop
I did a monologue last week, so normally this would be an interview week, but I’m leading a LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® team building retreat tomorrow for my consultancy, and things are down to the wire, and I decided to do an improvisational podcast instead, because that just takes less time than editing an interview.
So I thought I’d share some learnings from this last weekend, when I taught a calligraphy workshop for the Friends of Calligraphy.
