“If you’re alive, you’re a creative person.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

Today, Judy and I are thrilled to revisit another favorite inspirational book--Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert. If you're ready to ignite your creativity and live a more vibrant life, you're in for a treat.

In this episode, Judy and I embrace our curiosity and let go of needless suffering. We dig deeper into some of Gilbert's thoughts on how to live our most creative lives. We'll share personal insights, practical tips, and some of our favorite passages from the book.

We'll also discuss how Elizabeth Gilbert knew from a young age that she wanted to be a writer, focusing with unwavering dedication on that goal. Unlike her, Judy and I are generalists, flitting from one interest to another. We'll explore how this approach has its own unique strengths and challenges, and I'll offer a valuable exercise to help you tap into the power of possibility and commit to what’s possible for you.

So get ready to be inspired, get curious, and embrace the magic of creativity with us!

In today’s conversation, Judy and I dive into the fashion fads that shaped us and how we view fashion today. From bellbottom jeans and go-go boots to conservative wear and big hair, our stories capture the essence of our past. But here's the kicker: writing these stories isn't just about preserving the past; it's about exploring what these memories reveal about us and how they shape our present lives. With curiosity and reflection, we uncover real gems about ourselves. And let me tell you, we're all in for this introspective journey!

In today’s conversation, Judy and I discuss the writings the Sidetracked Sisters did this week about "A Funny Memory of Childhood," and let me tell you, the stories were golden! Three of them were about our kids or grandkids, and only one was a personal trip down memory lane. We laughed a lot, reminiscing about these priceless moments. They were fantastic to capture on paper, but here's the kicker: writing these stories isn't just about preserving the past. It's also about digging deep to see what these memories reveal about us and how they still shape our lives today. With a bit of curiosity and reflection, we can uncover some real gems about ourselves. And let me tell you, we're all in for this introspective journey!

In today’s conversation, Judy and I discuss “Giving Yourself Permission”. I read somewhere that answering machines ask you two questions: 'Who are you and what do you want?' Most people live their lives without answering either. So, we have a challenge for you today... Give yourself permission to decide and create your answers!

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach, out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” –Elenor Roosevelt
