As our anniversary crept up, I took a time out and checked into @retreathomesteadmodern in Joshua Tree for some space and clarity while dreaming up possibilities for the next year. ✍🏻〰️✨ Nothing gets creative juices flowing quite like the desert air and open space. 🏜🌞☁️

9 years.✨

I was cleaning the studio last month and found notebooks from the early days of this career path with lists of goals I'd jotted down. The big surprise was how simple they were.💡

Essentially, they boiled down to 3 things:

1. Work for myself / run my own race
2. Be creative every day
3. Earn a solid living in an aligned way

What I was reminded of is how we tend to complicate things over time, making this path feel much harder than it needs to be.

I spent a lot of time this year doing exactly that and my guess is that some of this stems from the comparison game.

Looking over your shoulder at what everyone else is doing rarely leads to good things. 👀

Suddenly, you've fallen down the rabbit hole of not doing enough / not offering enough services / not making enough money / not traveling enough / not sharing enough content… 🕳

Nine years in, I'm focused on getting back to basics. I now realize that the newest, shiniest thing you *think* you need to add to your to-do list to "keep up" (with who, exactly??) is fleeting.

The big flex can be much more simple: show up for yourself daily, even when things feel difficult and honor *your* vision.

Whether you’re on year 1 or year 10 of your business, things don't need to be that complicated. Honor the simplicity and drill down to what really matters.

In that simplicity, there’s room to sit with your thoughts and it becomes much easier to get into the creative flow. 💫
