with Virginia Leigh Studio Well, Hello my Wonderful Creative Community! Welcome Back! If you’ve been wondering why my site and social media accounts have been quieter than a mouse in a cheese factory lately, let me fill you in. There was a bit of an unexpected plot twist in the studio – I’ve been on …
How many of you can honestly say that when you decide to do something, you intentionally try to make it fun? No doubt many of our creative passions are fun in and of themselves. But I’m talking about those things like goals or projects. Have you ever said that about a creative goal? Let’s say …
Today we’re checking back on that STOP DOING stuff! About a month ago I challenged you to STOP doing some things! Stop expecting so much of yourself. Stop getting in your own way.
