🌿 What Would You Do If You Were Inspired? Issue 203
💫 A Dose of Inspiration
Hello friends and family,
It’s been a whole minute since I sat down to write this. Firstly, my apologies, life has been a bit chaotic, and I haven’t had the creative energy to find inspo for this. Which is not an excuse! Only an explanation.
Anyway, here I am back to sending you some love. I hope you are well, that the second half of the year is going well for you, and the Mercury Retrograde is not too intense.
This week's theme is “Update and Check in.”
A big thank you to everyone who sent me random messages to ask where this newsletter was and when it’s coming back. And, thank you to those who sent motivation on how inspired they were that it had crossed into 200ish weeks. Just knowing that I did this for 200 weeks/ issues is enough for me to celebrate the progress.
One of the big reasons why I slowed down on the newsletter is that I started creating content for the Dose of Inspo IG channel, which is growing slowly. I am finding more flavor in playing, creating, and testing out ideas over there. I have no idea where this will lead, but as ways it’s fun, so I am doing it. (1 week’s worth of content - takes 2-3 hours, is worth spending my time on, who knows - can I optimize it - surely, do I just add a timeblock into my calendar and get it done - yes. But this time is part of the overall allocation for this project.)
Then I have moved Inspiration Labs to an affordable paid service - this came at a recommendation from a friend. I will always be one message away if you need a brainstorming session, now it’s available for $29. Grab your session here
Mail me if you don’t find times, and I will open slots for you that work with your timezone.
Also, The Purpose Blueprint, your career clarity journal, is live as well. This is a 2-part journal that goes with a 4-week coaching program; however, you can get the journal on its own. Link is here
If you get the book, carve out time and dedicate the energy to moving through and finishing the book within 4 weeks. Trust me …I have clients who have shown results and gotten their dream jobs with this energy.
For Career Coaching - I have 3 spots open each for August and September - You will find all the info here.
Again, only book when you are ready to move with the energy of hunger for your next chapter. (I have one client who, within 2 weeks, landed a great project. Fast forward 3 months, and she is working in her dream role. This was not me, it was her energy, dedication, and hunger to move past her current stuck state. Anyone who has worked with me knows you have to do the work.)
On top of all the chaos from the year, when I see the pieces that I completed, I know in a year, it will all come together. I started Dose of Inspo as a side project to get this obsession with art and music into the world.
Playing with this project has given me opportunities to learn different skills. I have no idea where this is heading, but I am following the wave of inspiration each month to grow it slowly. (Also, I have failed 3 times to launch the YouTube and podcast - 10 videos filmed and 1 great interview with my favourite artist - Sharing this just so you know it’s not all amazing and it is a process)
If you have been here since the beginning, you know, even from the design, this baby has transformed. Anyway, take a look at some of those links and let me know your thoughts, book a session if you feel you need it, and share it with those who do too. Thank you.
Your task this week:
Take a moment to think for a few minutes on this prompt …
“What would you do if you were inspired?”
Remember, each week, we are just moving one tiny step forward to creating a life you love.
🤙🏾 Inspiration Labs
I am doing 5 calls a week. If you feel stuck in your current career, life, or are looking to change to something new… or just need inspiration. This has been running for a while, and it’s been great to see everyone’s progress after the session.
Feel free to share this with anyone who needs it too 🙂
🤙🏾 Inspired by …
My newest favourite YouTube channel. Highly relatable videos for anyone who feels like a goldfish with their focus and creative projects. Enjoy ❤️
🎨 Artists Who Inspire
Anna
Back with another great surrealist artist, this time based in Singapore. I found Anna’s work randomly and then checked out her sketchbooks, and of course, fell in love. Take a look at it here.
I think the magic of this type of art is that someone searched in their mind and created something like this. Then, took it further to sit with their time, and make something so beautiful. It’s wonderful what people decide to spend their time on, especially knowing it’s such a finite resource.
If you have any favourite artists that you want to share, send them my way anytime.
🎶 Song of the week
Something beautiful for your ears, I don’t know how to exactly carry forth this magic, but his music is poetry. Grab some headphones, give yourself 21:21, lie down on a bed, and close your eyes. This is the only way to experience this magic.
I promise you it will be worth it.
✈️ Travel Inspo
“To travel is to wash your eyes.”
Opening up more of the world to you…this section will be shared by travelers. Feel free to reply with your travel pic and some words to share!
They don’t tell you when you start traveling that your first conversation with someone from another country will open yourself up to a connection, an understanding, and an acceptance of that country, its people, and the space as part of your narrative as well. We are all human, and most of us just want to live in peace and have the resources to make our dreams happen. This week’s news was about Cambodia and Thailand - a potential for a war over a border. This photo was taken in Kampot, Cambodia. Puthy’s favourite place. We got to hang out with our Cambodian friend, talk about life, history, dreams, and we added his country and its people into our lives.
✌🏾 Pay it forward
New Section Unlocked: This space is for any of you to share projects, go-fund me, help needed, etc.
❤️
This is the start of something bigger, but for now, this will be home to all projects, resources, and services for you to donate to, buy, or support. This section of the newsletter will stay and have a feature for each project/ ngo when added. So if you know of anything where we can make an impact, please hit reply and let me know.
Final thoughts:
I know I am doing too much; this newsletter seems to keep falling off my to-do list, and I will work on it. This feels like an all-about-me issue, but I felt like you needed an update before we get back to regular content.
The creative process is messy and can be inconsistent; it’s hard, but if you love it, you will always find a way back to it. Fall in love with the chaos of it all, there is alot of growth on the other side.
