That’s where having a creative practice is helpful. Creativity isn’t something to be chased, it must be fostered.

That means that I can easily run through all my creative juices. Between an active blog, multiple book projects, collaborations, and more I’m constantly creating. It’s important for me to keep the creative well filled.

I am able to do this thanks to my fans and all the people that promote me, share my stuff, and expand my reach. Thank you!
