This week’s guest author is Cali Bird. When I stumbled across her work a few weeks ago I knew I needed to share her with you. I read and listen to a ton of stuff about being creative. Cali’s insight on how to live a creative life in the real world of bills and trying earn enough money to feed the cat and the kids is the clearest and most helpful. This is going to be a good TREE week. Please take five minutes sometime today and read the interview she links to. That guy is next level when it comes to optimising his creativity time.
Fab bit of encouragement this morning. I took an hour that I don’t usually have and I made a dress (in less time than it would have taken to look around shops and find a million items of clothing that don’t fit).
Cali is right on time. I’m 15 weeks into a book published next year. Time management will help me reel it in again. And yes, I have my cake and it’s a Wonderful World!
We need to squeeze in those dreams while we have time to conjure them up. I could wait, say I’m too busy or that’s there’s not enough time, but getting that work out and seen is a great feeling. Why delay that? Once you get into a stride, you steal those moments to make art and it’s worth it.
Cali Bird was one of the first stacks I found here. Her philosophy works well with mine. I spent most of my life in corporate cubicle land but that has not prevented me from time to time running off into the wilds and giving energy to my creative interests. Who knew that the purchase of a fountain pen would unleash a love of illustration? We don't understand ourselves until we step beyond the known.

That pigeon is super gorgeous, Teresa ❤️❤️
Inspiring and one needs to unleash their potential even if you consider it being a hobby as it builds up the momentum.
This IS gonna be a good Tree week!
