Whether it be a towering stack on your night table like mine, its own pristine bookshelf in your library, or a haphazard list in the back of your planner, what you read next can be a hard choice. In this week’s episode, I let you in on my future choices, and then we get to see if I actually get to those books or if i get sidetracked by new shiny ones beckoning me from my local indie. Let me know what’s on your TBR list, so I can add it to mine. x A Links referenced in this episode: Let Go and Begin Companies mentioned in this episode: Seattle Wave Books…

Valentine’s Day is coming and whether or not you celebrate or believe in the commercial nature of holidays, I am all for a reason to look at poetry about love. And if February makes me feel all the feels, then poetry in February is one way to escalate all of those feelings. Today, we look at three relatively modern ones. I mean within the last 20 years. We don’t need to go all the way back to Sappho or WH Auden to find the best romantic descriptions. Poetry lives and breathes as a reflection of our own times. Here are the three I read: Poem for My Love, June Jordan Filling Spice Jars as Your Wife, Kai Coggins The Hush of the Very Good, Todd Boss What are your favorites? x A…
Well, here we are again. It’s cold out, the sun may or may not be shining, the holidays have finished, you may or may not have put away all of the decorations. So now what? People tell you it’s time for arbitrary resolutions and a push towards productivity. But the winter season says it’s time to slow down, make friends with the darkness, and look inward. But you do you. And if you want to do you with others, Tania ( taniawalshyoga.com ) and I are running our Winter Workshop on January 30, 2025 and registration is open at letgoandbegin.com. We would love to see you there. And for those who come for books, here are the three I have going at the moment: Yoga and Ayurveda , David Frawley I Have Some Questions For You, Rebecca Makkai Ghost Girl, Banana , Wiz Wharton x A Share…
It’s the end of another year, folks. And it’s time to recap 2024 and all of the reading I managed to do. Here are a few of the books I highlighted for you to check out: James by Percival Everett Dracula by Bram Stoker Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro The Mighty Red by Louise Erdrich The Creative Act : A Way of Being by Rick Rubin And a big thank you for all of you who listen. This is my 50th episode. And here’s to 50 more! If you want to help out the podcast, please feel free to share, rate, and review where ever you listen. And as always, let me know what you loved this past year and what your fist book of 2025 is! x A…
Get your last minute shopping done at the bookstore. Live by the mantra: one book for you, one for me. It’s what you want for Christmas anyway. And whenever possible, shop local. Merry Merry. x A
In our Let Go and Begin workshops, Tania Walsh and I always start with the symbol of the doorway. Are you closing a door, opening a new one to a room you’ve never entered, or revisiting a dusty room that needs a good airing out? This idea came to me after reading Donald Justice’s poem “Men at 40”. I loved the metaphor of the “softly closed door”. I felt incredible empathy for these men who now looked at their life’s choices and could see that they would no longer be able to take these roads that led to frontiers of the self or make the choices that would take them away from their life as it stood in the moment of mid-life. They did not slam them, or shut them emphatically, but with a whisper of a close, maybe the door didn’t even make the click to let him know that it was fully shut. I related to their suffering to the lost lives or hopes or dreams and I always equated those dreams with artistic ones. The idea of being a road musician, or a fine arts painter, or a nomad who made his living off of acting, writing, drawing. I encourage you all to do the guided journaling questions included in this week’s episode and to, of course, follow us on Instagram to be kept apprised of our 2025 workshop dates. Read the poem here. Follow Let Go and Begin here. Drop in on one of Tania’s yoga classes here. x A…
When I am unsure of what’s to come, I turn to poetry. When I feel sad, I turn to poetry. When I feel lost, in love, overburdened, underwhelmed, dazzled or dreary, I turn to poetry. After the election, these three poems filled the void. Anne Waldman’s “Crack in the World” Maggie Smith’s “Good Bones” Nikki Grimes’ “You Still Dream” What poems have you turned to this November? Let me know in the comments! x A…
Do you have friends who are ten years older than you? What about ten years younger? Diversity is also about age. Understanding the generations that bookend yours is more than just reading the myriad memes on the subject. It requires an open hear and a generous ear. If we want to honor the classics and expand the canon, we need to broaden the audience. x A…
You are an artist. Plan your day accordingly. Micro Plan and Macro Plan. Then be ready for it all to change in a moment. Do your best and make sure to make room for your creative life. x A Here is the episode on planning your retreat!
When you select your next book, might I suggest you stray a bit from your preferred genre? Try some poetry, a thriller, historical fiction, memoir. Try something you don’t usually reach for. As the days get darker and shorter, we may find ourselves wanting the familiar, the cozy book that echoes the way we hope to spend our time. However, it may be a great time to get yourself tucked in with some tea, but let your brain go on an adventure. Here are some links to some of the books I mention, the Libby App, and my fall reading guide: James by Percival Everett Bridget Jones’ Diary, Helen Fielding The Booker Prize Shortlist The Libby App The Fall Reading Guide x A…
While we all know that looking at art makes us feel something, we get caught up in figuring out the right meaning. What are we “supposed” to see becomes more important than what we are, in fact, seeing. Make sure to spend time looking, seeking, observing, connecting to the visual. It will help you make sense of the world, no matter what your preferred medium may be. Here is the link to the Colin Davidson Show “Silent Testimony” Here is the link to Alex Gray’s The Mission of Art Here is the link to the work of art that I am fixated on at the moment x A…
We are all looking to retreat from the pressures of this election season that’s for sure. Have you made actual plans to do so? To take time away and delve into your creative self? You could finish your draft, you can dive into meditation or yoga to find your center. You could surround yourself with other artists for inspiration. You could learn a new skill or technique to add to your arsenal. Learn to Re-TREAT yourself. What would fill you up? Take time to think about it and then put it on your calendar. Here is the link to the Writer’s Refuge on Whidbey Island for any of you who are looking for a Thoreau type experience. Close enough to the town to get a good meal, but remote enough to immerse yourself in the season. x A We still have room in our October 12 workshop! You can retreat for a couple of hours on a Saturday morning! Here is the link !…

In this week’s episode, we discuss the three books I’m thankful for (right now, anyway). Like most lists, they are subject to change with the season, the mood, and the moment you ask me to remember them. So here are a few links to the books I mention, in case you are in need of some new books for the rest of the year to finish out 2023 with a bang. Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll : This edition from the Rifle Paper Co. is particularly stunning. Tender is the Night , F.

As artists, we long to be in the flow state for as long as possible, but sometimes we can feel like we’re wandering among the trees aimlessly. Yes, it’s beautiful, covered in snow, crunchy branches under our feet, songbirds in our ears, but we have to find the way out at some point. For many artists, goal setting can be painful. This week’s episode talks about the how and why goal setting is important and hard. I don’t have a lot of links this week, so here are some notable books on creating and of course the link to my website if you find yourself in need of a coach. Keep doing good work. x. A My Coaching Website The Artists Way, Julia Cameron Fearless Creating, Eric Maisel Daily Rituals, Mason Currey Writing Down the Bones, Natalie Goldberg Share Your Work , Austin Kleon…
This week's episode is a starter kit to recognizing the role of body work in your creative life. There are a lot of names thrown around, book titles offered, and even a Walt Whitman poem at the end. But above all, honor your body the way you do your muses. Without it, you couldn't make anything. Here are some links to the people, books and poems I mention: Susan Sontag Marie Curie Nikki Giovanni Hayden Dunham Frida Kahlo The Body Keeps The Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma , Bessel van der Kolk, MD Alvin Ailey Dance I sing the body electric, Walt Whitman Treasure your breath and keep doing the good work. x A…
This week we are talking about how creative pursuits can sometimes leave us with an emotional hangover: that hollowed out feeling like we have given over so much of ourselves how can we ever hope to fill up again.

Pete Holmes on Zach Braff’s Podcast Pete Holmes’ You Made it Weird Podcast Dr. Huberman and the sun in the morning Joseph Campbell’s A Hero with A Thousand Faces See you next week. x A…
We are so lucky to live during a time when the myth of the artist emerging fully formed has been debunked.

Helen Frankenthaler, Round Trip, 1957 A continuing conversation regarding self-care. If you missed the Substack post on the topic, here it is. Let's Try Creative Self-Care Instead of a Hot Bath Amber Vitti Hill Ever since the great pandemic of 2020, we have been inundated with the “rules of self-care”: morning routines romantically filmed with dreamy filters for YouTube, calls for daily 90-minute yoga sessions and artisanal hot tea, long showers and nature walks, mani/pedis and massages. These all sound wonderful and healing, but when you break those activitie… Read full story I also mention a couple of other things in this podcast you may want to check out: The Great Gatsby, F.

How we address failure and how we meet success is a choice. Our disappointment and desire in this realm demonstrates our attitude towards life.
