Life lately has been...well, life. I can't complain, but it's hard to find time for work, family, relaxation AND creativity. And if you can't do it all, how do you pick and choose? Listen to my therapy session and share your own story in future episodes!

Talking about podcasts on a podcast - so meta. I talk about the various podcasts I like to listen to: comedy, news, local, serial killer discussions - you know, the usual assortment. Do you prefer daily podcasts, or chapter podcasts that release all at once so you can binge listen? Talking about podcasts gave me a huge creative idea that I'm so excited to share! Check out my thoughts, and share yours in the comments. I LOVE podcast recommendations!

William Box talks about how he came up with the yART Sale concept, and promotes the 2nd annual yART Sale happening in Memphis on October 28th! Listen to what the creative community event will have, and how he plans to expand not only the arts community, but help young artists build a future.

This week I'm wrapping up my photography episodes with a quickie - instant gratification in the form of instant photos. I have a long history with Polaroid pictures, and now I've moved on to Fujifilm, which has been like learning a whole new game! Listen to some of my trials and triumphs, and check out my Polaroid gallery for some visuals.

As you know from the last episode, photography has always been my favorite creative outlet, but I gave it up for a good five years - I just couldn't make time for it! I missed it, but the drive faded away, and I hate to admit it, but I kind of forgot about it! Until my husband kicked my butt into gear, and... listen to hear the full story, and the exciting upcoming news!

Photography has always been my passion. It's the reason I recently started Go Coffee! Creative - to give myself a chance to fall back in love with the medium. On this episode, I think back to how I got started with photography, and where it's taken me now. Spoiler alert: there is a VERY EXCITING cliff hanger!!!

In my second episode with Chris Eaton (check out the previous episode for some background), we work together to develop my first ever Dungeons & Dragons character! Using a fillable character worksheet, Chris and I talk through the mime character I made up last episode and really flesh him out. We talk about how this type of character development helped us with fiction writing assignments in our college years, and how it still helps get our imaginations going now. Find links to our supplies on the blog. Check out the partner post on GoCoffeeCreative.com to access links and resources mentioned in the show.

Improv Fantasy Storytelling is how Chris Eaton describes his experience playing Dungeons & Dragons. He and his friends gather every week, schedules permitting, to create an interactive story. No one knows what will happen next or how it will end, but they're working together to tell a story and complete a mission. Listen to my interview with Chris and get sucked into the world of D&D! Check out the partner post on GoCoffeeCreative.com to access links and resources mentioned in the show.

That's not bad grammar, it's just what this episode is all about: dyeing! I dyed all the things a couple of years ago, and recently realized how much I love expressing my creativity through that outlet! Cue buying some white cotton garments and getting my hands dirty (in the prettiest way possible)! Check out the partner post on GoCoffeeCreative.com to see links to where I get my supplies and pictures of the work I've done.

Well hello there! Thanks for joining me on my new podcast. With Go Coffee! Creative, I'm exploring all creative outlets, and how to balance creativity with life. The first episode is a bit of background on my creative life, an update on my current situation, and a call for creative people to interview! (That means YOU!)
