Ep.147 Creative Minds Must Play

Sidetracked Stories

Show Notes

Today Judy and I encourage people who want to be more creative to not just work and "veg", but to PLAY.

Play...specifically having a weekly "Artist's Date" is a foundation stone of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way.

In the same way, you can't pour water from an empty cup, you must fill yourself up to write or create. In our conversation, we share activities that fill up our creative cups and inspire 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!
