Join me as I share my Creative Exploration Formula, which is beautifully captured in my Creative Exploration Formula bookmark. In this refreshing episode, we break down the art of getting your creative juices flowing. Learn how to use limitations as the breeding ground for fresh ideas as we explore real-life examples, including my own experience with a back-against-the-wall challenge to a happy triumph in a demanding piano gig.
Relax into Step TWO of my Creative Exploration Formula: Letting Go of Your Head. Learn to silence the inner critic, shed expectations, and banish ego from your sacred creative space. Choose the freedom to create without judgment or preconceived notions as we unlock the true essence of creative liberation.
Release all preconceived notions in Step THREE: Make It Stupid. Unleash the power of purposeful absurdity as I show you how to defy convention and shatter creative constraints. Witness the miraculous emergence of your visionary brilliance born from the simplicity of playful experimentation with your own curiosity.
Step FOUR leads you to Tune In to Your Inner Compass, a personal connection to your authenticity and inner truth. Connect with the wisdom and mysterious power of your innermost values, beliefs, and dreams.
Envision with Great Attention in Step FIVE—Tap into the boundless creative energy within yourself through the use of detailed visualization. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of sensory exploration to manifest your imaginative spark.
Step Six invites us to Explore, Brainstorm, and Experiment—to adventure into the pleasure and fun of following our curiosity. Using the open spirit of fearless inquiry, we steer ourselves into the depths of our inventive potential, unearthing treasures beyond our wildest expectations.
Step Seven accommodates the arrival of Failure—a noble companion on the path to creative flow. Recognize the necessity of setbacks and imperfections as catalysts for inquiry, growth, and transformation, paving the way for courageous reinvention and new paths.
The final Creative Exploration Formula step: Redesign—is a tried-and-true return to the drawing board, where failure gives birth to resilience and renewed energy for creative outpouring. Harness the power of iteration as you refine, reimagine, and redefine your creative vision with strengthened determination for boundless original ideas.
Join me in this mini-workshop to unlock your creative empowerment through the steps outlined in my Creative Exploration Formula.

I share a few creative ideas on preparing a creative goodbye. Pandemic2020 and my personal experiences with multiple tragedies motivated me to launch my Creative Memorial Planning Facebook Group, a webinar, and my 2-month Coaching Program, "Explore, Choose, & Plan Your Creative Memorial." I help 40+ adults explore alternatives to traditional funeral plans with less or zero corporate &/or religious involvement—and map out a personalized, meaningful, creative memorial plan. HIGHLIGHTS:"I address life and death as one with the understanding that we die as we’ve lived and that we can live more mindfully once we address death.""I’ve served as an unofficial celebrant for more than 20 memorials —including 3 personal losses.""We die how we live. Whatever inner life state we build during our lives, we take with us into the next natural chapter of death. Living an inspired life with creative energy stems from living fully—with mindfulness in the present moment as well as having the courage to face the difficult things.""The ability to manifest my full potential and enjoy life—comes from doing the hard thing—preparing for my end of life NOW as a way to polish my inner humanity. Polishing my inner condition is self-care—that leads to fuel for living an inspired life and brightening the path of others.""One idea for your creative goodbye ritual is poetry. It could be a poem or collection that you wrote, by a loved one, or from your favorite famous poet. Poetry is a beautiful way to express the richness and joy of creativity within your loving legacy.""My poem, To Remember You, as my tribute to my late brother, John.""How to prepare a collection of your legacy documents as a memorable family activity or a creative project of your own."
