I love Sydney, but there's a definite similarity to living and working in a big city and being a bird in a cage.

“Some of my old memories feel trapped in amber in my brain, lucid and burning, while others are like the wing beat of a hummingbird, an intangible, ephemeral blur.”

Hops are the flowers (also called seed cones or strobiles) of the hop plant Humulus lupulus. They are used primarily as a flavoring and stability agent in beer, to which they impart a bitter, tangy flavor, though they are also used for various purposes in other beverages and herbal medicine.

A small Venus fly trap.. I focus stacked quite a few shots of these but I could not seem to get a real super sharp result.. The plants trigger hairs, or the lobes seemed to be very slowly opening and closing. maybe the plants reacted to the two small lights that I placed either side.
Creativity has to be a practice. If you wait for divine inspiration, it may never come. This week proved that. I unexpectedly have a foster baby 🐣 with me and came down with the nastiest stomach virus I've ever had, all in tandem with attempting to launch a new creative challenge. Any one of those things is anxiety-inducing for me. Life is unpredictable. I quite literally don't know when I'm going to be a mother and when motherhood will be suddenly taken away. I don't know what my health will do. None of us get guarantees.
And that is why creativity needs to be a practice, because when we cultivate a deep understanding of where our creativity comes from, how to access it, and how to act on it, we more successfully achieve ☑️ flow state ☑️ optimum productivity ☑️ deepest creativity.
And when we fail to cultivate that deep understanding of our creativity, we find ourselves waiting for it, and upset when it doesn't come. We use terms like "writer's block" and "dry spell", when most of the time what we suffer from is a lack of underlying connection to what makes us creative.
There's one more day to sign up for the creativity challenge. It's free: brookeshaden.com/events/impact.php
And I've thrown in an editing tutorial and chance for a Sony camera giveaway for anyone who registers. There are 2,000 of us taking the challenge. It's a gentle guide deeper into our creativity for a more sustainable practice. Because while life sometimes throws us curve balls, we can still cultivate a sense of creative security within.
