Create and execute an act of kindness this weekend. What is something that you could do that would bring joy, happiness or relief to someone else? Here are some ideas to show kindness in simple and inexpensive ways; bake something for a friend or neighbor that could use some cheering up, pay for the coffee or meal of an unsuspecting stranger, donate to your favorite charity or for purpose foundation… Use your natural skills to express kindness in your own unique way. You will impact someone’s life in ways you’ll never understand. Be kind.

A Phoenix Moment

A rebirth is necessary, especially for a creative business. Over the years, my business and I have gone through a ton of transitions together. Those transitions have been beneficial in many ways much like Edison taking “1,000 steps to invent the light bulb.” Although I have yet to develop a life changing invention, I have managed to keep honing my design skills through trial and error. This path I have chosen is one with many phoenix moments to come and I am looking forward to each one of them.
