Unlocking Creative Joy, One Week at a Time

Over 50 and
Ready for Something New?

Hi Reader,

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re bored with the same old routines.
  • Retirement feels less like freedom and more like a waiting game.
  • You’re itching to create, connect, or explore, but you don’t know where to start.

If so, you’re not alone—and I’m here to help.

🎥 Here’s a quick story about how used AI to refine my mission so I'm ready to meet these challenges.​
One way that I play creatively is to use AI as my creative thought partner. This video explains how I used ChatGPT to clarify my purpose and sort out how I solve real problems.

​

🚀 I'm on a mission!​
After some back-and-forth refinement conversations with ChatGPT, I arrived at a mission statement that will help me serve you better:
​
​‘Igniting joyous creative freedom for people over 50 by blending AI and play to inspire connection, self-expression, and living a deeply fulfilling life.’

Sounds good to me. How does it sound to you?

I made this mission statement more "tangible" for myself by creating this graphic in Canva:

Then, to make it clearer, I refined it further as shown below.

🖋️ How can I help?

Sometimes, life can feel stuck or uninspiring. Here are some of the ways, I help people over 50 rediscover their spark:

  • Show you how to use AI as a fun, creative tool (it’s easier than you think!).
  • Help you reconnect with your creativity through simple, playful practices.
  • Empower you to feel more connected, expressive, and excited about life through an accountable, supportive Creativity Sandbox Community.

I even hand-lettered the simpler version of this message—because that’s the kind of personal touch I enjoy:
