Something about this week... there's magic in the air. Can you all feel it too? I think there must be some sort of shift in the cosmos.
• This week I learned that curiosity kills fear. I've been kind of scared about starting a new business (again) but just this week I crossed the threshold and replaced anxiety and fear with excitement and curiosity. Try it for yourself! The next time you're freaked out or all in a tizzy get curious instead.
• This week Jeremy considered applying for a job that's description sounds very spy-like. I would be so jealous. (I hope this doesn't blow his cover.) Some of the requirements are perfect vision and being able to hear whispers at a certain decibel within a certain range.
• This week I got some serious work done on the Paleo cookbook I'm designing. I've been doing so much thinking and planning and fantasizing lately that it was nice to get lost in some good old fashion layout design.
• I blogged over at Braid:
- A Case For Brilliant Note Taking (this is a video post!)
- A Review Of Finish This Book (I was excited to hear that Keri Smith read & loved it)
- Tools for Capturing (where I share my favorites)
- And our October newsletter: Draw More In Meetings and Get Others On Your Page
Have a fantastic weekend, you guys!
Curiosity Kills Fear.
ReplyDeleteOmigod, I needed this right now. I'm so scared about an upcoming event, but I'm obviously more curious, because it's completely optional, and I'm still choosing to do it...despite the fear.
Curiosity kills fear. I want to see what it's like to race on a lake with other rowers and push myself 'til I want to puke and hate my life in the middle of the race because I'm rowing so hard I can't think straight or make sense of my own body.
I think you've saved me from myself today, Kathleen - thank you!!
Aimee - Isn't it amazing!? I'm so glad I could share that little tidbit with you. Best of luck at your rowing event. Let me know how you do!
ReplyDeleteJeremy has to apply for that job and then tell us what was it about!! it is a little bit intriguing....
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck with your new project!!
I had a fantastic weekend, but next will be even better, I am going on a holiday weekend....:)
