Today, I’m sharing one thing you can do right now to help you move through your life in a gentler and more connected way. Don’t we all want more of that?
Two of the main avenues God has used to help me do this are through writing and photography. i.e., telling my story by tracing the beauty of God’s faithfulness within it.
This post is about helping you to do the same.
I won’t promise what you’ll learn today will revolutionize your writing and photography but I’m certain it will make it more accessible and enjoyable for you and, by extension, make beauty more accessible for you to enjoy. I’d consider that a success.
Below is a brief explanation of one simple practice I engage in that makes a massive difference in how I incorporate creativity into busy every day life. At the end, you’ll find an invitation to a bit of “homework” to make it practical in your own day-to-day.
What does this mean for you? It means you will:
learn how to take pictures that make an emotional impact (either with a phone or ‘big’ camera).
develop a solid method for gathering a pile of good ideas to pull from when you want to write.
tell stories from your life as a way to become more present within it.
This is exclusive teaching I’m offering to my paid subscribers. They also get access to a private chat where I’ll use my decades of writing + photography experience to help them apply today’s lesson to their own creativity and personal storytelling.
We overcomplicate being creative. Maybe you think you need to tackle a mountain of workbooks and courses and tutorials before you’re qualified to pick up a pen or camera.
Before you know it, wanting to explore your creativity becomes a daunting journey you feel ill-equipped to go on. And so you often don’t. Meanwhile, your life—and the beautiful stories it contains—don’t stop being lived out. You just end up being unaware of their presence.
I’m here to help with that.
