Last year went by in a blur—picture one of those time-lapse videos where you see everything moving at triple speed while you’re standing still, blinking.
Love this, Melissa! My plot twist continues … I launched my Art of Life Creative Retreats company last year and it took off fast! So I’m teaching my mashup of creative iPhone photography and curiosity, awe, mindfulness and adventure to fabulous women who want to join me in Morocco, Sardinia and Croatia. I can’t wait. This pivot is especially timely as my twinnies are now in college 😭, so my personal and professional lives both needed a plot twist as empty nest life is quiet. I miss my girls, but taking my life feast on the international road has been amazing. Oh and I’m also launching my own Life Feast app with my iPhone photo walks, tips and f*ck perfectionism pep talks on my own app. I’m quite excited for that! I look forward to having a Life Feast book ready for its publicity era in the next three years - it’s not on the calendared bucket list (yet), but it will be. Love all that you’re doing and love seeing some old obsessed pals in these comments. xoxo
I loved catching up with what you are creating, Melissa! My plot twist is that I am teaching Substack 101 to people. I am helping them launch their profiles + publications. I also now have a top 5% podcast. Rebranding to Nourishing Creativity was a huge payoff! Sending you so much love and new year blessings ❤️ xo Carla
Getting ready to start plotting 2025 and I love these questions! Also hosting workshops in the new year (both corporate-y types and fun self growth/creative), and I keep wanting to find a word that isn't workshop because it feels so blah. Haven't landed on that yet. I LOVE the question of being a director of your own life.
My plot twist went from copywriting to upholstery. Such a completely different field and so very challenging, but wow—more rewarding (and more difficult) than I ever imagined. Loving it.
Salud to your plot twist! Always good to hear from you.
Right?! I LOVE mixing fabrics, maximalist-style. Working with my whole body AND my brain feels SO good. Best pivot ever. And I learned to follow what lights me up from you! Thanks for that. You’re the best. <3
OMG I'm absolutely sooooo ready for a plot twist! Can't wait to hear and read about all of yours too for 2025! Miss being in your vibe and energy!!!
Miss you too, lady! ♥️
