Hey, hey creative friends... Last year I got the honor of a lifetime being nominated and chosen as one of 100 creatives in 5 categories for the very first #20ontherise award ever - It was an encouragement in ways I can’t even begin to describe. And I am so so grateful. Now round 2 is here and you have an opportunity to celebrate creatives you know who are rising and shaping their industries through hard work & creativity. Know someone that sounds like? Nominate them here: https://ontherise.honeybook.com/nominate - I can’t wait to celebrate them— and you! 🙌🏻🎉 #designedtothrivecreative #courageouscreativity #purposemeetsprofit #designedtothrive #creativeatheart #creativepreneur #creativebusinessowner #risingtidesociety #calledtobecreative #creativityfound #communityovercompetition #jaxcreatives #wearethecreativeeconomy #madetomatter #tbiwarrior #thelittlevictories #dowhatyoulove #creativebusiness #illustratedbusiness #dontquityourdaydream #withgritandgrace #storymatters

How did I miss national dog day? Well to be fair Charlie wouldn’t consider himself a dog. Fur child maybe - I can’t believe it has already been 5 years of this sweet love gift waking me up every morning, just to curl up under my chin and go back to sleep 😆 - He’s my CCO (Chief Cuddle Officer), tear drier, hug giver, laugh provoker, lizard chaser, my snuggle bug and forever fur baby. I can’t imagine not having him in my world. So pretty much everyday is national fur baby day over here - #designedtothrivecreative #courageouscreativity #purposemeetsprofit #designedtothrive #creativeatheart #creativepreneur #creativebusinessowner #risingtidesociety #calledtobecreative #creativityfound #communityovercompetition #jaxcreatives #wearethecreativeeconomy #madetomatter #tbiwarrior #thelittlevictories #dowhatyoulove #creativebusiness #illustratedbusiness #dontquityourdaydream #withgritandgrace #storymatters

OK friends. Confession time. I'm a champion adapter. I grew up missing a leg and using crutches. I had to figure out how to do things differently. So, as I have been fighting my way through the fog of a TBI, I've built up an intricate system of apps and notes and tools that help me look pretty normal on the surface. Truthfully, I didn't even know I was doing it - But if I loose my notes from a meeting, it's empty space I can't fill. I try to remember yesterday and it is a blank void unless I can see my calendar entries. I used to hold my world in my brain, now I have to hold my brain by how I structure my world. I used to feel smart. Now I just feel so slow. I used read more words a minute than I now can process in half an hour. I used to handle extreme stress and uncertainty without breaking a sweat. Last week a nano-fraction of it almost landed me in the hospital - I am not who I used to be. There are things I may never get back. And that's crushing sometimes. But that doesn't mean I can't forge ahead and build a life I love. It may be harder. It may look very different and be frustrating. But it can also be filled with good. Relationships I never would have found. Perspectives I might never have seen. Community I might never have leaned on. Grateful for each and everyone of you. Shoutout to my friend @nataliefranke whose epic iPad doodles inspired me to make a few of my own and the make EEG waves reference... because neurofeedback and alpha waves rock - #designedtothrivecreative #courageouscreativity #purposemeetsprofit #designedtothrive #creativeatheart #creativepreneur #creativebusinessowner #risingtidesociety #calledtobecreative #creativityfound #communityovercompetition #jaxcreatives #wearethecreativeeconomy #madetomatter #tbiwarrior #thelittlevictories #dowhatyoulove #creativebusiness #illustratedbusiness #dontquityourdaydream #withgritandgrace #storymatters #makewaves
