I just turned down a paying music gig.
After writing in my journal this morning that one of the things I’d like to get back to is performing my music.
Why in the world would I do such a thing?
Well, rarely in life are things black and white, it turns out. Most of the time they are shades of grey.
And although the music gig is paid, it would, in fact, end up being at least 4 hours of [Read more…]
I came home from my week in the redwoods at Jazz Camp West, right on the heels of a week on the East Coast, at the Creative Problem Solving Institute, with a couple of days at Niagara on the Lake wrapping up a mastermind group I’ve been in since last Fall… and I promptly got sick.
I’ve been in bed for three days straight.

If you’ve been following me for any time at all, you know that I’m a self-declared imperfectionist, and imperfectionism is a foundational concept when it comes to living a full-color, creative life.
But what does that mean, exactly?
