Before I finally laid my head down for some blessed rest last night, I had these AHAs:

Even though I had…

Worked 16 hours straight from 5 am to 9 pm (not something I normally do ~ but was playing catch up from being sick)
Hosted a 2-hour live training and coached 1-1 clients while nursing a lingering cold.
Had someone unexpectedly cancel a Clarity Call.
Realized I’d made a mistake and spent double the amount I’d intended on FB/Instagram ads
Plowed through about a box of kleenex and a gallon of warm ginger tea

Rather than feeling defeated, frustrated or blue, I felt abundantly joyful, grateful and fulfilled!

Here’s why.

I loved every minute I spent writing to, teaching and coaching a beautiful variety of creative humans!
(Seeing their “ahas” and seeing their mindset shifts happen in real time is the BEST!)

I received a Christmas card from a returning client who’ll be joining the next mastermind round with a note saying “2025 looks a little brighter now. Thank you!” (see the fun toy photography card below)

A past client sent a photo of a beautiful painting with the message “I think of you every time I actually finish a painting!” (see the lovely painting of peppermints)

Yet another current 1-1 client said she wants to join the next round of the Magic Action Mastermind in January
(So 4 of 10 seats are now already filled by continuing or returning clients and I haven’t even officially opened the doors yet!) 
In her weekly check-in, a current client shared the profound difference she’s feeling this holiday season with family dynamics because of our work together.
She no longer feels she has to cater to everyone else's whims and now gives herself permission to prioritize her creative dreams after years of putting everyone else first.
I received a gorgeous hand-painted birthday card and thoughtful gift (I adore both!) from a dear client I’ve had the honor and joy to work with for years with a lovely heartfelt note. (see the beautiful starry sky in mountains card)

I share this because even with all of the challenges the day held ~ I found myself effortlessly focusing on the bountiful goodness that had occurred instead!

I reminded myself that I’d done my best (Good job, Jill! IYKYK )

This is all possible because…

I’m crystal clear on my creative vision.
I believe with all my heart that I’m doing the work I’m here on this planet to be doing and its worthiness.
I’m committed to turning my creative vision into my reality and helping as many creative humans as possible do the same.
I hold a deep desire for this life I’m creating and living.
I know that the time, energy and resources I invest in creating it is well-worth it. (See the “Here’s Why” list above.)

Life will always hold both ~ the good and not so good, the easy and the difficult, the desired and the undesired.

The good news is, we have so much more power over what we choose to do with either than we know!

If living a creative life you love ~ no matter what life throws your way ~ sounds good to you ~ stay tuned.

This weekend I’ll open the doors to the next round of the Magic Action Mastermind starting mid-January and make the remaining seats available to you.

Here’s to giving yourself permission to spend the time, energy and resources to have the support you need to turn your creative dreams into reality in 2025!
