Dear Beautiful Friends,
Creak-creak, back at making a video, feeling rusty and self-conscious, so if you’re feeling a bit knock-kneed about sharing or creating, let me show you my awkwardness and clear the pass for yours. And then, we keep going.
On the topic of CREATIVITY, which is beauty in action:
Here’s a cool, juicy, flirty nugget from the record exec and producer Rick Rubin, from his don’t-walk-run-to-bookstore-now AMAZING book, The Creative Act: A Way of Being.
“We want to expand ourselves, not define ourselves.”
This is a friendly reminder that Life isn’t a campaign that needs a personal brand. If you find yourself up at night wondering Who you are, What you stand for and frustrated that you can’t capture your essence in an elevator pitch of ten words, there’s a reason. We are not made to DEFINE ourselves. We’re made to explore, inquire, and expand our capacity for living.
Speak about expanding: Beauty Hunter Minda Lane shows us the way.
Minda’s memoir, "Men, Myself and I: Revelations of an Open Marriage" just became available as an Amazon ebook. To celebrate, here's a Beauty Q&A we did together last spring that turned into a fun, adventuresome conversation about love, marriage, sex, life’s surprises, what it’s like to publish a book outside the mainstream, and how telling such an intimate story changes a person. We laughed a lot, too.
Her book is all about a personal awakening and expansion of mind, body, and spirit. You might not fancy an open marriage, it doesn’t matter. Expansion is expansion, the form we choose to rub against is just the rail road tracks to get there.
