Piggybacking on yesterday’s challenge about creating where you are, this becomes much easier if you always have a project with you, which can happen when you designate a travel project. Benefits of a Travel Project If you have something you can carry with you, you’re more likely to be creative in those gap moments like […]
Create Where You Are
I’m kind of astounded that I’ve made it 50 days into this project. I’m so glad I’ve done it, because it’s nice to work a little bit of creativity into every day, and to share simple ways that you can do it, too. The girl is not always ready to leave school when I come […]
