Friday Finds

A place to glean inspiration from those inspired.

  1. 50pic is happening right now. My good internet friend Joshua White is the cheerleader for this spurt of creativity, and people are snapping pics and sharing them on the web–you can even see them roll in HERE. Seriously. He has multiple nations involved in this. And, for this creative feat, he wins the awesomesauce of the day award.
  2. THE Project is coming! Sarah Markley, who I love and have met and love some more, is doing a “project” centered around the effects of social media in our lives. Her curiosity will lead to our enlightenment. Trust me on this one. I’d love for some of us to participate. Keep your eyes on Sarahmarkley.com next week to get in on the action. She needs to hear from you.
  3. Fueling Your Creativity. Everything Jeff Goins writes turns to gold in my life. I see him as my writing/blogging mentor. And, well, I hope he’s ok with that. He’s got a great list of simple things to do to keep creativity gas in the tank of your brain, not just when you’re running low. I challenge you to make at least 4 of these things a part of your normal week(end) routine. Keep the creative engine running!
  4. Effectiveness vs. Efficiency. I just love the Accidental Creative site. And I think a lot of you will, as well. If you’re hoping to move forward in some creative project this weekend, take a moment to read this article first. And MORE about that on the99percent’s “A Day Without Distraction.” Brilliance.
  5. Lastly, happy anniversary to the Clayville’s! Their story, and the story of other second chances, simply inspires me. Jenni devoted the entire week of blog posts to beautiful stories about second chances. Thanks for sharing it with us!
So, that’s “Friday Finds!” Got any cool creative plans for the weekend? I’m going to be getting over a head cold. And hanging out with a New Englander that I mentored and love a bunch!

  1. Aww. thanks girl!

    I think it’s going to be, at the very least, an eye opening experience. If you wanna chat on the phone I can explain to you what i’ve been thinking about. =)

    miss you.

    i think i’m coming back to Hilton Head in Sept. FYI. =)

    • 1) chat on phone would be awesome, if for no other reason than to hear your voice! How about next week sometime?
      2) I’ll be here in September! Send me dates & we’ll make it happen!

  2. Plans for the weekend include, but are not limited to the following:
    Sleep. Study for finals (dead week is next week!). Find more pictures to frame in my room. Make or buy pillows. Make brownies. Show my DVD from the film festival to family and friends.

  3. My weekend plans include painting and organizing my bedroom, dog sitting 2 dogs from different owners, sleep over at monica and jared’s since my room is completely torn apart, dinner at 5 guys burgers and fries and Thor last night, skipping church and a morning spent watching firefly and then a beautiful motorcycle ride. Then the beach and a marie antionette themed bday party tomorrow

  4. i like you AND i love you. thanks for the shout-out… and in other news… i’m way behind on my blog reading… if you haven’t noticed.
