“A post for the creatives who just need to hide away. It is safe to hide away for a while darling. Momentum won’t leave. You will make momentum. You won’t lose opportunities, you will make them. Because in the quiet you will find more and more art. In the silence ideas will be heard. Be brave enough to sneak away and leave us all desperate for more.” - Amie ( @inspiredtowrite ) post via @filmmkrs

In times of creative block, we often seek inspiration elsewhere, yet we might overlook the value of revisiting our own past work. Reflecting on our previous artworks, designs, or writings can evoke a spectrum of emotions. Such reflection helps us recognize our personal evolution and growth. Our own creations hold the power to reconnect us with forgotten influences, reignite past passions that once fueled our creativity, or simply inspire us to persist in our creative journey. In an era where we are constantly inundated with others’ accomplishments, exploring our own work can be one of the most genuine sources of inspiration. It leads to originality through authenticity, rather than falling into the traps of imitation, envy, or copying others’ creations. So, if you find yourself in a slump today, consider taking some time to delve into your past projects.

When I began my journey into deathcare I was merely following a tickle of a calling that eventually sparked a fire within me fueled by purpose and passion far greater than I could have ever imagined. The mission of my work and of Going with Grace has always been clear—to support people as they answer the question “What must I do to be at peace with myself so I may live presently and die peacefully?” What wasn’t always so clear was the road by which to get there. Growing a business in a field that is (although becoming less) taboo has been complex. Some days I felt clear and there was effervescence in my blood and other days I would cry and feel lost, wondering where I got the nerve to take on death. But excavating your gifts doesn’t have to be a strenous undertaking!! The things that helped me to keep on keepin’ on during those unclear times were staying curious, choosing to play, slowing down to listen to my intuition, and surrounding myself with some really rad deathy folks who remind me that I’m not alone. Gratefully, that community of deathworkers who are LIT all the way up about making a difference in the world is only growing and it’s one of the reasons we created the EVOLVE business course to bring you together for support and guidance. 🙌🏿 ✨Our next round of this 6-week intensive course begins in April and we cap each session at 15 students so if you’re interested, don’t wait to join in on the fun!✨ We share your vision. Now let us support you in bringing it to life while you do death. 💜💀 @gisellebuchanan
