Detail shot-verso:
Book page poetry: two page spread from Win Him If You Want Him, published in 1937, which is just as sexist as you imagine.

Now reframed as white-out poetry, this spread says:

Every woman
is
exceptional
and
can
learn to be
wise

Wednesday morning doodle. It’s amazing how much more ready I feel to face the day after a little #creativesandbox playtime. That’s why I incorporate it into my morning ritual. It makes the rest of my day go better.

Better to get it in earlier in the day, because then more of my day goes better!
Plus then it’s about a zillion more times likely to actually happen!

As I always say, the thing I do FIRST is the thing that gets DONE! So whatever is most important that actually happens, THAT needs to happens as close to “first thing” during my day as possible.

Hence my morning doodle practice.
If I do it in the morning, it’s way more likely to happen. Then the whole rest of my day goes better, I’m happier and more productive, and it basically starts a whole positive cascade.

What triggers a positive cascade in your life? And how can you make sure it’s built in, so it happens regularly?
