January has been such a full month for me of just so many of life’s complex facets. I connected with some amazing people that might turn into friendships and/or collaborative creative partnerships. There’s renewed energy in some old projects. But there was also a death in my family and some difficult conversations in my larger circle. And, of course, this is all my own small world within the larger world of all the things that are going on around us.
A lot … that’s the best way I can say it feels … like a lot. Not bad, not good, not anything really specific, just a lot. I’m just feeling a lot. And that’s okay.
Below I’ll share a roundup of the things I wrote this month but first a little visual recap of some of the other parts of my January life and first even before that a reminder that I’m offering my Creative Health Cartography services at 40% off through February for paid subscribers:
