February 24, 2016 The CrEAtiVE PRocESs JUST START —> grab a canvas —> start writing —> doodle —> do something When I set out to create, I rarely have whatever it is planned out from the start. Every creative act starts somewhere. Wether it is a thought that comes and gets doodled down on a napkin. Or the blank canvas and the creation takes shape. It all STARTS somewhere. There is always a BLANK PAGE in the PROCESS somewhere. Often people ask me “what are you going … [Read more...] about your creation sucks

February 22, 2016 11:56 — central standard time I turn off the noise in my hotel room. TV was just an enjoyable distraction. Random facebook videos, just to consume.

HA!!! You never … [Read more...] about the grizzly in my hotel

I have seen a glimpse of the competitive nature of chefs, through my travels. There is this odd competition and cockiness that chefs carry. Honestly I do not feel uber competitive these days. I did in the days of sports but right now this season of life I feel like my biggest competitor is myself. I desire to grow in my art and creativity, but I … [Read more...] about the challenge of perfection

February 20, 2016 K . I . S . S . Keep  It  Simple  Stupid   Often in life we overcomplicate things. We make them out to be harder than they need to be.

February 18.2016 decide — I thought I would do a short continuation on yesterday’s blog. If you missed it, click here before any further. These posts may seem somewhat abstract. Honestly, I enjoy inspiring change more than I do giving examples of change or steps of change. There are so many books out there giving sixteen steps to freedom or eight steps to financial success; honestly I feel that change comes from making a decision.
