Unlocking Creative Joy, One Week at a Time

Happy New Year!

As we prepare to enter 2025, we are given the gift of a fresh chapter, a blank canvas.

As I reflect on this, the highlight of the Holidays so far was seeing the remarkable new Dylan biopic, "A Complete Unknown." I loved it!

My inspirational takeaway is to remember to have the courage to create on my own terms, no matter what. I hope you will do the same... even though it's not always easy.

This year, I want to help you focus not just on lofty creative goals but on building systems and communities that support the creative life you’ve dreamed of.

As James Clear wrote in Atomic Habits:

"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems."

For me and our small very merry online band, the Creativity Sandbox Community is that kind of system—a supportive space where joy fuels practice, community sparks accountability, and your authentic self shines through. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate.

What will you create this year? Let’s find out together. 🕵🏻‍♂️

Here's to a joyous, inspired, and wildly creative 2025! ✨

AI Creativity ChroniclesWeekly AI Tips to Spark Your Marketing Mojo 🎨 From Photoshop Panic to AI Video Power 🚀 Back in 1989, journalists worried that Photoshop would “end photography.” They said we’d never know what’s real. That copyright was over. That creativity itself was at risk. Sound familiar? Today, we’re hearing the same kinds of fears about AI. But here’s the truth: Photoshop didn’t end creativity.
