Hi There, Jill Here,
This episode is a rerun of humorous suggestions of how to deal with family during the holidays. It gives a number of tongue-in -cheek and whipped-cream-in-mouth ways to deal with a dysfunctional family at the holidays... or really, anytime.
Sometimes a little humor and perspective around the holidays is called for. I know it was for me.
Have a beautiful holiday season....

I'm back with the podcast to be a catalyst for creative escape and inspiration. If you're still listening, I'm grateful. I'm not a consistent person except in the department of creativity.

I’ve spent a career teaching how self-judgment works against us in the creative process.
I’ve spent a lifetime dealing with my own harsh self-judgment, so I have the requisite compassion to understand its costs.
Once we’ve made it to a place of near completion, there is time is to be discerning, but the process requires license to start out crappy, make mistakes, and tolerate not being able to bring into reality the ...

Sometimes the undesirable and embarrassing parts of who we are make the best stories.
Writing does that... it uses creativity to lift us out of self-judgment about our personal weaknesses and into comedy, healing or just an awareness of our common humanity. ,
I've brought one of those stories I'm particularly startled by, to sound effects, music, and uncut candor on this episode.
If you've ever tried to record a podcast without the proper sound proofing it can be challenging.
This episodes illustrated the frustrations I encounter with interruptions and how they can be good practice for resilience.
The secret to happiness is also revealed.

William James, philosopher and psychologist observed, “… when we reach the end of our days, our life experience will equal what we have paid attention to, whether by choice or default.”
I’m over 60., but I don’t care,. I don’t choose to pay attention to my age most of the time “Age is only a number.”
There are occasional reminders that I’m not the number 20 or 30– Getting out of a chair after sitting for a while ...
Ever find yourself in a job where you don't recognize who you are anymore? "Sold your soul to the company store?" I did for 10 years. It made me cranky but ultimately gave me compassion, resilience, confidence, and the determination never to eat duck again... so to speak.

We continue on this journey of misguided creative adventures you may not want to try at home - adhd has it’s hazards, but stay tuned to A Muse’s Daydream, it also has its advantages.
This episode includes a home far far away I once lived in with the wrong person, Martha Stewart Christmas ornaments, a tow truck and a firetruck, hitting bottom both literally and figuratively and finding refuge in writing and art.
This is a story that begins in the Miami sun with wobbly sailboats incarcerated in the straight lines drawn by a well-intending mom and ends with... wobbly sailboats sailing free. It highlights the advantage of perseverance which is a by-product of finding the joy in the process and not worrying how things look. There are advantages of being a perfectionist with ADHD.

Hi Listener,
If you've been in earshot of me randomly bending a stranger's ear or at one of my workshops or trainings, you've probably heard the story I'm about to tell you. I share so maybe a little light is shed on the poison of perfectionism as it relates to doing three of the most important parts of the creativity:
1. enjoying the process
2. enjoying what you've done.
3. s...
hi,
I wrote this poem a few years ago when I was single. I'll still single, but in two weeks, I'll be married. Yet, I will still be living alone because that's what we decided was best for both of our independent artist mentalities.

Some traditions need to be examined, and maybe modified if they're not fun.
Some of us would rather high-five than bow, some of us would rather blow bubbles in our chocolate malts than act too serious.
