Creativity
Music, writing, self-photography and anything else that strikes me make up my current creative pursuits.
But I don’t see creativity as limited to our these typical disciplines. We use creativity everyday in the way we think and how we solve problems.
I see minimalism as an invitation to be more creative. It asks us to accomplish our goals without having the perfect thing or tool for every task.
I always want to find ways to incorporate more creativity into my life, but I find this difficult.
Sometimes I manage to though, like when I was a storyteller with StoryDistrict and Mortified and when I do occasional paper crafts like origami, card making and book binding.
Music
Releasing my first album, "Fragments," was the output of my life stripped down to what matters most. I'd been writing songs for years but never gave it enough space in my life, until I finally did.
I followed this with an EP, “Fast Poems.”
I also have monthly playlists, posted on my producer’s Spotify.

Minimalism makes space for play.
With the growing popularity of gratitude practices and gratitude journals, people are stepping outside of their hectic mindsets and daily challenges to recognize just how fortunate they are. It’s part of mindset change, which is an integral part of developing a minimalist lifestyle with ease.
