This week I am excited to have invited a few friends on to talk about this 30 day challenge we have embarked on. You can pick it up and join in anytime. It doesn't have to be in line with the beginning of a month. It only has to be something that you want to do to stretch your creativity and imagination. 

We are diving into how different we all think and how we see different things and sometimes the same things in the same shapes. 

You can start too and do this with us. These Creative Calisthenics worksheets will get you to exercise your imagination a few minutes each day for the next month.

I will be joined by Harrison Mills who is doing the challenge with his daughter, Maura McDonald who is doing it digitally on her iPad, Paul Nylander who has been doing these exercises with me for the past few years, and Anna McBrayer (also doing it with her colleagues and sons. Note: her sons are not her colleagues). It is fun to share and see how different and similar we see things. 

Maybe you struggle to draw a peacock perfectly? I would answer, is it necessary to have a picture perfect peacock or which lines do you have to have to communicate peacock. Which lines do you have to add to communicate what you see in the shape? 

Episode 424 was recorded LIVE on Wednesday, Nov 16, 2022 at at 2:30pm ET / 7:30pm GMT / 11:30am PT / 9:30am in Hawaii.

Black Truck Activities

Kratos Character Development | Log Story | Diedlonely - Bipolar (slowed)

In this July entry, I’m tending to the maintenance—checking in on how I’ve been moving through life, and making space to adjust the things that no longer fit. Halfway through the year, I’m learning to move with more discernment: being intentional about the energy I carry, the people I keep close, and the goals I choose to chase.

Turning 30 isn’t far off, and that milestone has me thinking about where I’m headed—not with pressure, but with clarity. This episode is a mid-year tune-up. A reminder that consistency is care, that rest is resistance, and that the road ahead is only as smooth as the work you’re willing to put in now.

This is a space for memory-keeping, storytelling, and building a community through audio frequency. Feel free to join the conversation in the comments, share your takeaways, or simply vibe out. Thanks for listening.
