The Me-Time Mixtape: Three essential hand-curated links and resources on creative self-care. Carve out some me time this week!
What would you do with 24 hours of me time? I'll answer first – I'd go for a day trip to the beach, bring a good book, and my folding chair, and read and write on the beach. I'd eat a chewy NY bagel with scallion cream cheese for lunch. I'd take a long walk, look for shells, and enjoy one last day of summer-like weather before it turns cold.
Your turn – I'm curious about you, dear reader, especially about how best to support your creativity and self-care. To help me learn more about you, I created this one-question survey. See #1 below – and please share your thoughts with me (all answers are anonymous). 🙏🏼
#1 What Would You Do with 24 Hours of Me Time?
Dream for a moment that you have 24 hours to yourself. Then click through and tell me about it.
#2 Bring Nature Inside
"Biophilic design" describes how you add nature-inspired design elements into your home. I do it with houseplants, seating (rockers) on my balcony, and scattered beach glass and stones as decorative items around my house.

#3 Books to Inspire Our Inner-Artist
I read a lot of blog articles and newsletters, but I'm a slow book reader. I was surprised that I'd read (and enjoyed) four books on this list. I'm intrigued to read at least two more (“The Letters of Vincent van Gogh,” edited by Mark Roskill, and “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle). I was looking for a way to get into Eckhart Tolle, and this should be a perfect first read of his work. What are you picking from this list? Hit reply and let me know. 📖
