It was June of 2010, and my parents were looking mighty spiffy.
My mom positively glowed in the wedding dress she’d kept in pristine condition in the attic for fifty years.
My dad looked sharp in the same style of white coat, narrow-lapel tux he’d worn in 1960.
I sang during the cocktail hour with a jazz trio at the big bash party they hosted at the restaurant.
But my real gift to them was the book I made them.
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.
First, some background: [Read more…]
Every week I invite listeners to leave a review on iTunes, or the Apple Podcast player. If the podcast has made a difference for you, and you send me a note letting me know how, then leaving me a review is how you apply to be featured on the podcast in a listener spotlight!

Way back in August of 2015 I received an email in my inbox that made me perk up my ears.
Now, I have to tell you, probably 90 percent of requests from strangers that I receive via email go straight into the trash. But this email, even though it was a request from a stranger, and it was a little on the long side, got my attention.

That said, it has taken a year and a half for the recording to go live, which is really embarrassing.
Even more embarrassing, there are actually five more conversations from that same time period that are still waiting to be published.
Why has it taken so long?
(And by the way, I published another conversation with Alessandra Wall a couple of weeks ago, which I said in that recording was from Fall of 2016. Correction: that conversation was actually recorded in 2015.)
Well, if you’ve been following me for any time at all, you can guess why these recordings have been languishing on my hard drive: [Read more…]
In the last week of last year, after a year of vibrant health, I got slammed with a terrible cold.
On my wedding anniversary, no less.
And even before that cold morphed into The Sinus Infection from Hell, when it was still just a bad cold, it threw my off my game, big time.
I mean, ridiculously so. Beyond any reasonable expectation.
So I wrote about it in my Creative Sandbox Community for women. Because that’s one of the things I do in there — I share stuff that’s going on with me, in the moment. Because that’s my inner circle.
And I thought I’d share what I wrote with you here on the podcast. [Read more…]
