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!
