I love the mantra, grow slowly🪷 Truth resonates. It rings true. I am moving 5 hours away and am in the middle of the end date. As you said, Jeff, when we endeavor a big project, you lay it out and make plans. You must calculate some space for the unexpected. I came home to no water and I returned to clean. Do you know what I did? Laugh! It was unexpected but I had wondered what upsets there would be at the outset. I predetermined my move to be easy and graceful. It has been. Why? I choose it to be. I designed it that way. I accept the chaos. There are no problems, only solutions. And the water got turned on! 🔧🚰
Very kind to say. I immediately see my age in the comments I make. Live long enough and you can be a help along the way. I have always got a sage in my life for an example of peaceful living.🪷✌🏽
I use Adobe Firefly for image generation (because I haven't successfully convinced my work to get me a subscription to Midjourney yet). I've not yet been in a situation where I've thought, 'ChatGPT can help with this' but I love the ideas of having it ask me questions and of asking it to critique my writing.
I tried this "writer's room" exercise that some guy taught us in a workshop, which blew my mind. It was definitely a Q&A style exercise to help me tease out some writing ideas. I know a lot of folks hate on AI and there are plenty of challenges we're going to face head on in the very near future (jobs much?) BUT! I'm excited for the ways it'll actually help improve creativity rather than hinder it. Because while I also want to hate on Adobe, alas, it provided me with an entire livelihood rather than having to struggle as a starving artist!
The problem with Adobe is that they bought the competition and became a monopoly so they can get away with putting out apps that are so much less good than they should be while charging rip-off prices. Fortunately, there is emerging competition. Figma is way out in the lead over XD. Now that Canva has bought Affinity and is offering it to education for free, I'm hoping a generation of students will get to use beautiful fast software and refuse to be Adobe's bitches.
"a generation of students will get to use beautiful fast software and refuse to be Adobe's bitches." YES!!! During last week's "let's get Adobe canceled because they're the worst" campaign, my heart wanted to join, but my paycheck simply cannot. So I'm very stoked that the demise of Adobe lies in the next generation! One can only hope!

You are the master at this stuff, Denelle. You give us all something to aspire to.

Age comes with some great advantages. I'm just now getting old enough to start truly understanding that
Yes you are and it will gain on you, the wisdom kind of just settles in. Feels great, doesn’t it? These are our riches that moths can’t destroy🏜️
Great article on AI, thanks for sharing! I use ChatGPT for work and these tips will come in handy!
I can wholeheartedly concur on this statement. Got all my gears turning!
