What led you here? [Week 29]


Hihi Reader! Get ready for Creative Success :D, but first...


The Creative Cafe's

FIRST EVER Mixer...

IS ON HOLIDAY!!! Due to low engagement with date polling, the mixer IS INDEFINITELY POSTPONED... *GASP*

But don't worry! It's just until more demand for the mixer comes back! I know summer time can be A LOT so maybe it's not the best time. And that's totally okay! We'll all eventually find a date to party, have fun, and celebrate each other and our accomplishments together <3

Trust me... one of my fatal flaws and super powers is that I don't ever give up XD

And hey, if you do want the mixer to happen sometime soon, just let me know with a proposed date and I can try again! I'm thinking sometime in October might be best! Spooky party time :D


This Weeks Action Steps For Success:

Alright alright alright! You started you're creative project with some ultimate goal for it in mind! Whether that be to just have gotten the idea out of your head, to inspire your kids to go after their dreams, or to make millions! There are a ton of reasons people stop thinking about an idea and actually start doing it, something that propels you. It could even have been just so there's art out there that represents your side of life.

Whatever that first initial goal was, I want to know :D

Here's mine:
To share a fantasy story with the world (that would of course make billions) exploring what makes a person good or bad and gives symbolic representation to mental health issues.

YOUR TASK:

  • Reply to this email with the very first reason/goal you actually sat down and started working on this awesome project of yours!
  • OORRRR post it in the fb group!

Reader, seems like technology got between us! I've only just realized that this weeks email never sent. But that's okay because I got to have some solo time with the cafe. Today and tomorrow's (Thursday) cafe is the final Creative Cafe session for a while. Going on an indefinite hiatus! I have my surgery on September 30th but have doctor appointments, wrapping up project appointments, physical therapy, and my own birthday on the 29th so I will be working around all of that and won't have any...

Reader, let's celebrate! We are embarking on a new adventure! I would like to start hosting a weekly wins column in these emails :D Writing down your accomplishments and acknowledging your achievements is a really great way of keeping yourself moving forward.
