A year ago, I was hanging out in a tiny fishing village on the Pacific coast of Baja and spending a lot of time thinking about how to grow.

I noticed that as an individual, writing was a powerful tool that employed some of my unique strengths. I decided to be more intentional with my writing and practice it on a regular basis. Those realizations led to this blog.

Today, I’m setting aside business writing to focus on a short story that I’ve been working on. The creative side of my writing doesn’t advance my understanding or perspective, but it does bring me joy.

This year, a big personal goal is to attend a writing workshop with my Mum- also a writer with lots of published work. One of the deadlines for a workshop is next Friday and I’m halfway through my short story submission and still need to edit it. So today, business writing steps aside.

Awareness. Practice. Connection. Deadlines and selection.
