Today I’m celebrating the One Year Anniversary of Mid-Week
Oasis Moments! (Woo-Hoo!)
That’s right. You my friend are reading Mid-Week Oasis
Moment number 52 which means over the past year I’ve:
* Dreamed up the concept for Mid-Week Oasis Moments (bite-size
bonbons of creative inspiration delivered each week)
* Written more than 20,000 words
* Created more than 50 visuals
* Connected with hundreds of fabulous readers like you
consistently each and every Wednesday for the past year.
As a recovering procrastinator/perfectionist extraordinaire I have to tell you – this is a big deal for me – so believe me when I say I am ready to celebrate!
I’d love for you to help me celebrate this major milestone
by being my guest for my all new complimentary teleclass – “Creativity Cubed”
where you’ll get to create your own Instant Oasis Cube and multiply your
creative joy! You’ll find all of the details here and at the end of this post.)
If you know the story of my creative journey you know
that once upon a time follow-through was not my strong suite. There was a time I had about a million creative dreams I
longed to bring to life but didn’t have the tools to make that happen. So I
spent a fair amount of time feeling stuck, frustrated and unfulfilled.
Then I found Kaizen-Muse® Creativity Coaching and all that
changed. Using the “this stuff will change your life!” methods of KMCC I’ve:
•
Earned my Kaizen-Muse® Creativity Coach certification and was chosen
to
be one of the very first Master KMCC coaches
• Started my own business – Creative Oasis Coaching™
• Written, recorded and released my solo CD, “Dancing In Limbo”
• Created and hosted “Infinite Possibility – A Night of Music, Art & Women Helping Women”
a benefit that raised more than $10,000 for Women for Women International
• Trained for and ran my first half-marathon
• And perhaps, most importantly, learned how
to weave creative satisfaction into my life in small, doable ways on
a daily
basis
Today I get to add my one-year anniversary of Mid-Week
Oasis Moments to this list!
How did I move past the creative blocks so many of us share?
I dipped into my treasure chest of creative coaching tools that helped me to:
• Take small steps – like
playing in my creative space for just five minutes.
• Ask small questions such as What
Lights Me Up?
• Lower the pressure. I decided Mid-Week Oasis Moments would
be short and sweet and therefore doable and fun for me!
• Embrace gentle accountability. Because I promised you that
I’d deliver a Mid-Week Oasis Moment to your inbox each and every Wednesday
without fail I’ve been inspired to keep to my promise and my writing schedule.
• Keep it fun! I played in my Creative Oasis Journal, went on
photographic scavenger hunts and colored
in mandalas.
• Cut
myself slack. We creative types need to be gentle with ourselves you know.
You can count on me to practice what I preach in my own life!
I use all of these methods and more…the very same ones I share with my
one-on-one coaching clients and classes and, happily, in my Mid-Week Oasis
Moment.
So back to that celebration! I wanted to find a way to say
thank you to all of my lovely Mid-Week Oasis Moment followers and so I created a fun
free teleclass to share.
I’d love for you to celebrate this milestone by being my guest for a complimentary teleclass:
“Creativity Cubed”
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
We'll create personalized Instant Oasis Cubes and play with new ways to multiply the time we spend enjoying our creative passions!
This special no-charge teleclass will be great for you if:
* You need a little help giving yourself permission to spend time with your creative pursuits and passions
* You could use the gentle reminder that experiencing creative joy and fulfillment doesn’t have to take a lot of time
* You’d like to contemplate what Instant Oasis Moments might look and feel like in your busy life
* You’d enjoy some fun, low-pressure creative play with easy-to-follow, step-by-step guidance
* You'd like to celebrate with me and other amazing members of the Creative Oasis tribe!
It has been a true pleasure and one of the greatest experiences of my creative life to create and share Mid-Week Oasis Moments with you each and every Wednesday this past year and I'm ready to par-tay!
I do hope you'll join me Wednesday, March 19 at noon central time for "Creativity Cubed" – a fun FREE teleclass created especially to celebrate the one year anniversary of Mid-Week Oasis Moments!
In the meantime, I'm off to celebrate and enjoy some small rewards (another great creativity coaching tool!) for a job well done – lunch with a dear friend and a massage. Woot!
Until next time, all the best from my celebratory Creative Oasis to yours,
Jill
