It’s been a busy fall! I know you haven’t heard too much from me lately, other than a few announcements about local events here and there, but I’ve been a busy little bee in the background. This fall I finished a new book AND accepted an offer for it! My current publisher loved the idea and graciously offered to publish it, making it my fourth book with them! I feel incredibly lucky to continue working with them because they have created a true home for my work. It’s such a creatively nurturing, supportive environment and having a team behind you that sincerely believes in your ideas, you really can’t ask for more as an artist.
I am SO excited to share more details about the book with you soon. It’s very different from anything I’ve done before, which is making me feel excited but very vulnerable! It’s truly my most favorite thing I’ve worked on to date. The book will probably be released next year, so once the paperwork is finalized very soon, I’ll be sharing more information then.
In addition to working like crazy on the new book, I’ve also been a guest on a couple of podcasts. One of my favorite interviews was with Meg Kissack of The Couragemakers Podcast. Working in this industry I have been able to meet some really incredible people with whom I have so much in common, and Meg is one of them. Have you ever experienced the magic of meeting someone and almost instantly you feel like you’ve been friends for years? This is exactly what happened during our Skype call and I’m so grateful to be able to call her a new friend of mine! We’ve even been meeting on Skype regularly now for fun friend chats! You can listen to my interview with her here, and I encourage you to check out the rest of her podcast episodes too. I will copy from her website the idea behind The Couragemakers Podcast because I don’t think I could summarize it better than this!
“I started Couragemakers because I wanted to create a platform for passionate and unconventional women to have honest conversations and to share their stories, struggles and dreams. The intention behind this podcast is to inspire and encourage creative and mission-driven women to live a wholehearted life and follow the beat of their drum.
The Couragemakers Podcast is the weekly podcast for creative and multi-passionate women. Creating a life you love takes a shitload of courage, but you don’t have to do it alone.
Join your host me, Meg Kissack every Monday as I talk to a different couragemaker as we speak all things courage, creativity and dream-chasing as they share vulnerably and honestly about their journey so far.”
