This week, I got to talk with Kaitlin B. Curtice about her new children’s book Spring’s Miracles. It’s such a beautiful story about a Potawatomi girl named Dani, who’s learning to be brave while exploring the wonders of spring. Kaitlin shares the meaning behind the story, the importance of honoring Indigenous traditions, and how this season of new life can help us see the world—and ourselves—a little differently.

How many of you have a half-finished creative project just sitting there, waiting for you to come back to it? Maybe it’s a book, a painting, a business idea, or even something as simple as a scrapbook you swore you’d finish two years ago. (No judgment—I have plenty of these, too.) Starting a project? That’s the fun part. The ideas, the excitement, the this is going to be amazing energy. But finishing? That’s where things get tricky. So today, we’re going to talk about how to actually finish w...
This week I sent out the monthly newsletter, and I felt the urge to include some scripture. So if you aren’t subscribed, it was a list of 6 Bible verses to give you a bit of encouragement and purpose on your creative journey. I’ve been following the Bible reading plan daily this year after finding one I loved that a friend recommended to me. It’s called The Bible Recap with Tara-Leigh Cobb. I also believe it’s a podcast, too. It’s been really awesome diving into the scriptures as I’m studying...

We’re busting some creative myths that I know too many of us are still believing. We often hold ourselves back because of these myths.

I’m not a poet. I’ve never taken a poetry class or really studied it much at all. (That said, I do have a small poetic claim to fame: I once had a haiku about coffee published in the Heartland Society of Women Writers. So, technically, I’m a published poet!) But poetry isn’t something I consider a regular part of my creative repertoire. Still, I’ve always been intrigued by it. There’s something so powerful about capturing a thought, a feeling, or a moment in just a few words. And as a busy mo...
