In this episode of My Simplified Life, Michelle Glogovac shares a conversation with Mary Jo Hoffman, an artist, photographer, and author of the book, STILL: The Art of Noticing. The discussion revolves around Mary Jo's journey of turning a daily habit into a decade-long project, the concept of self-patronage, and the importance of noticing the beauty of nature in our surroundings.
What we’re talking about

The concept of the 72 micro seasons and how it can change the way you view your environment
The idea of self-patronage and how it can support your creative work
The importance of being patient and not rushing to monetize your creative work
The episode focuses on the importance of being patient and taking your time to monetize your creative work. Mary Jo shares her journey of turning a daily habit into a decade-long project. She emphasizes that persistence and patience allowed her to remain authentic and keep her creative work fun, which later resulted in an unexpected and overwhelming response from her followers when she released her book.
The concept of the 72 micro seasons and how it can change the way you view your environment
Mary Jo introduced the concept of the 72 micro seasons, which can drastically change how we view our environment. This ancient Japanese concept breaks the year into smaller periods, encouraging us to notice and appreciate the subtle changes in nature around us. Michelle shares how this concept has made her more present and observant in her daily life.
The idea of self-patronage and how it can support your creative work
Another significant takeaway from this episode is the idea of self-patronage. Mary Jo and her husband balanced their creative pursuits with practical jobs, allowing them to fund their creative work without the pressure of immediate monetization. This balance not only helped them enjoy their creative work more but also led to a pent-up demand from their followers, resulting in the successful launch of Mary Jo's book.
