Happy Monday, Everyone! This has been the busiest summer I’ve had in a long time, but it’s also been one of the best. Lots of friends and family visiting from out of town, and lots of lazy nights outside. But not too lazy–there are always side projects in the works, like new endeavors for Mirror80. My ideal weekend involves a healthy blend of relaxation and creativity. This past weekend was just that. Today I’m sharing a few snapshots…

On Learning to Recharge…

Happy Monday, Everyone! This past spring, Mirror80 started a new series that celebrates the creative process. Many of you have written in and shared information about your own creative projects, and it occurred to me that a lot of us are in this together–living a life that includes a heavy dose of creativity on a weekly, daily or hourly basis. Our first post in the series (titled “On Creativity”) gave a little bit of background on Mirror80, then asked all of you to get involved in the dialogue. We then focused “On Making a Fresh Start” and the ways that a few changes can take creativity to new heights. Today we take a look at the power of recharging…

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!…
