Exploring Options for How to Live

I wonder if (in part thanks to the politics) this past year you have been exploring options for how to live a more authentic life? I certainly have. It's a constant question.

• How to keep work/life balance.

• How to show up for my family and my friends?

• How to not let my ego get sucked into seeking more, and more approval?

• How do I maintain my life commitment to living mindfully while also satisfying my ambitions?

• How do I bring calm into the chaos of being a creative professional while giving back?

With that in mind I would like to invite you to follow a personal project I've been working on called, 'Finding Zen' - named after a poem by the great NW poet Theodore Roethke.

I work in the commercial world, and I am indeed a serious force when it comes to producing, art directing and making visuals and branded content for marketing - but the world I am sharing in this post is for those of you who are on the creative quest for a more authentic life. This feed is also for me - to help me absorb a life that's deeper.

Being outside, being off the grid - not shopping - but cooking and living in the wild that is not about conquering nature, nor about big adventures. It's about being one with it.
