I’ve always known I’m meant to live a creative life. The need for creative expression feels like an innate part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve explored what it truly means to walk the path of a creative person and an artist. I’ve learned that creativity is powerful. It’s had a positive impact on my own wellbeing, facilitated moments of deep healing, and reconnected me to my own intuitive gifts. I believe wholeheartedly that the creative path has the power to transform your life, and I’m excited to share the 5 resources I keep coming back to for inspiration. 

I’m someone who craves consistency but also fears getting stuck in a routine. These opposing forces have been historically at odds with each other, creating chaos in my life. As I’ve slowed down and spent time going deeper, I’ve realized that it’s not routine or consistency that I’m opposed to. I was afraid of predictability. I don’t want my life to be pre-determined or meaningless. 

What I find myself truly craving is more magic. I’m not necessarily talking about the grand gesture movie kind of magic. I’m talking about looking up at the stars wondering how this all came to be kind of magic which is actually available to us whenever we want. 

In fact, magic is often waiting patiently in the mundane, and I’m excited to share 3 simple ways you can experience more magic in your life.

Feeling lost and unsure of what’s next is a universal experience and part of being human. We all go through these seasons throughout our lives, and they can feel painful, isolating, and lonely. I used to dread these seasons of life, but recently I’ve found a sense of gratitude for them. 

Each time I find myself stuck or craving clarity, I learn something new about myself and also how to use this time most effectively. I’ve created a list of ways you might be able to identify if you’re in the unknown and some practices to help you find clarity and get unstuck.

When I received my first tarot reading from a friend in 2017, I remember feeling seen and understood in a way I never had before. I loved how the cards took me on a journey while reflecting back what I’d been experiencing in my life. At the time, it felt like magic. I immediately bought my first deck and dove headfirst into learning everything I could. I was constantly drawing cards and journaling about them. I would even sit at my favorite bar, and do readings for anyone who would let me. 

I’ve never had an affinity for crazy plot twists. I always look a movie up on IMDB before watching, and these days I prefer to rewatch a familiar show over seeing something new. Maybe that’s why I love rom-coms so much. There’s a certain comfort in knowing the story will be tied up in a nice little bow by the end.
