I am back.
My hiatus was exactly what I needed and I have to say that the creativity was flowing. I have found a lovely rhythm for creating and it’s been a really supportive time. My daughter was born at home healthy and happy 7 weeks ago and I have to say the experience was an amazing testament to the power of intention. Everything was exactly how I imagined it and the experience was empowering for me. And of course, she’s absolutely perfect 🙂
I have been giving a great deal of thought to my creative business and how I want things to take shape. I feel I have been able to let go of all the noise I have picked up and hone in on what it is I really want my work to look like. I think I have found it and I am excited to share it all with you along the way but here are some things that are new and fun at the site right now:
*Newsletter: I have changed my newsletter from daily to once a week on Fridays. I find it very hard to manage daily emails from my favorite sites and so I decided to make this switch. Each week subscribers will receive a summary of everything new I have shared both on the blog and YouTube. Hopefully, this makes it much easier for you to choose what to listen to and a lot less email to manage.
If you are someone who likes to be notified as soon as something new happens you can subscribe via my blog and you will automatically be sent notifications whenever I post something new. You can easily do that by entering your email in the sidebar of the blog where it says “subscribe.”
*Podcasts: My daily creative podcasts are back and I am really happy to be sharing them with you all. These are going to be just as they were-under 10 minutes and where I share with you all what I am thinking and working on. These are posted right here on the blog and you can receive daily notification by subscribing to the blog or you can listen on iTunes as well.
*Dilettante’s Shop: If you listened to yesterday’s podcast you heard me waffling back and forth about my Etsy shop and I ultimately decided that I wanted to share my creations here on my site. I used to love to manage my own online shop and would spend hours creating and updating the look and feel of it. So, I am going to do it again. For now, since I only have one handmade journal available for sale it will be a simple listing however that will be growing as I set up and design my new Dilettante Shop so I hope you love it! It should be a really fun endeavor!
*Dilettante TV: I have been wanting to do more videos for a while and I have been really inspired by Michael Nobbs Video Podcasts. It was the final nudge I needed to get myself in front of the camera again and share. The theme of the show will be eclectic (of course) but focused more on spirituality, my healing work, oracle readings and maybe evening some painting or creating as I find creating to be very healing work. I did decide to be a bit coy and have this only available to subscribers of my newsletter so if it’s something you are interested in I hope you will subscribe.
*YouTube: My YouTube will be my sharing of all things creative including things I have made, process videos of me making stuff and things that might resemble tutorials. I say resemble only because I tend to wing most things I make but I am happy to share when it works out 🙂 I am planning on uploading videos Tuesdays & Thursdays.
So that’s it everyone. I am really happy to be back and to be creating and I hope you will join me for this latest creative adventure.
Much love!
Until next time…
