Hello Creative Friends,
To me, Art-Making is so much more than making a THING. Art-Making can be a micro-model for the grandest artwork we'll ever make... our lives.

Hello Creative Friends,
To me, Art-Making is so much more than making a THING. Art-Making can be a micro-model for the grandest artwork we'll ever make... our lives.
This episode is about one of the specific tools we use to create our life... STORY. Stories are tremendously artistic. We can tell a 100 different stories about one experience, and the stories we pick will paint the experience in very unique and powerful ways. We can literally change our histories, by telling the stories in better ways. If this isn't the baddest art-form I don't know what is.
I share a very recent story (something I rarely do), about a time I struggled to choose the better story around a challenging time.
Choosing the story we tell about an experience is (for me), the same as choosing the color crayon we draw with. The story makes the experience, rather than the other way around.
