As I approach my 30th birthday on August 16th, I'm setting ambitious goals for the next phase of my life, blending my passions and aspirations. Here’s a glimpse into what I’m working towards, and how your support can make a meaningful impact: 1. Travel and Explore Jfashion Communities: I aim to immerse myself in Jfashion cultures worldwide, from Tokyo’s Harajuku to London’s street style. My goal is to transition from a Jfashion influencer to a media and press role, focusing on archiving and documenting stories as a writer. 2. Establish Pink Energy Productions: At the core of my creativity is Pink Energy Productions—a space for spreading positivity through curated content. I’m looking to formally establish this business to enhance my role as a writer and event coordinator. 3. Achieve Financial Freedom: I’m committed to reducing my debt and achieving financial stability, allowing me to focus more on my creative pursuits. This involves exploring better-paying job opportunities or additional income sources. 4. Build a Stationery Shop: I’m excited to create a whimsical stationery shop featuring stickers, prints, poetry, and indie zines. This shop will reflect my unique style and offer inspiring products to encourage creativity. 5. Acquire My Dream Camera and Typewriter: To enhance my media and writing projects, I’m looking to upgrade to an Osmo Pocket 3 for vlogging and a Lemon Smart Typewriter for distraction-free writing. 6. Publish Books: I’m determined to complete and publish my fiction manuscripts. Whether through traditional publishing or self-publishing, I hope to share my stories with the world. 7. Revive Kawaii Riot: I plan to bring back Kawaii Riot in 2025/2026, aiming to provide valuable resources and continue advocacy work in the alternative fashion community. 8. Return to School: I’m considering pursuing a master’s degree in writing and social media, to deepen my expertise and enhance my creative and professional skills. Your support through sharing my work, spreading the word, and making purchases from my shop plays a crucial role in helping me achieve these goals. Every bit of encouragement, whether a social media share or a small donation, fuels my journey. Thank you for being a part of this exciting chapter! Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn to stay updated on my progress and upcoming projects.

I love creating stuff. Songs, articles, workshops. For me, it’s the beauty of seeing my random musings and ideas form into creations that others can hear, read and experience, but it’s also about the sheer fun of the process. It’s great creating by myself but it’s even more fun in partnership with others. I really appreciate the inspiration I get from being around supportive creatives and the ability to exchange ideas and experiment together. But I’ve discovered that finding this kind of community can be difficult. For that reason, creating community was one of our key ambitions when Laura and I devised our group creativity course, Brilliant. What we’ve established is a six week course where you can create, be spontaneous and have fun in a small group of like-minded people. A space where you feel part of a collective, not in competition with others. A space where your uniqueness is celebrated and connection is prioritised. The course is for anyone who wants to bring more creativity into their life, whether that be as a performer, in life or work and wants to do so in the company of others. Sound intriguing? Check out our website in the comments for more details and to apply to join our cohort starting in January. Where could you use more creativity in your life?

Hey, my Dear Friends and Colleagues ! As many of you saw from my last post, Mia (my daughter) and I embarked on a special project together: creating a coloring book, Cozy Seasons. I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported us—whether by reposting, liking, or simply cheering us on. Starting something new is never easy, and your encouragement has made all the difference. 🙏 Now, we’re thrilled to share a little video about the book, along with some fun insights that make our project unique: 1. What looks simple on the surface: The truth is, there’s a lot of hard work and love behind this little book. 2. 50 hand-drawn pictures: Every illustration tells a story from Mia’s own adventures. 3. Real characters: The people in the book? They all exist in real life! For example: our dog Mikki😍 4. Mia’s proud moment: She brought her first coloring book to school—what an amazing feeling for a child to see her work celebrated by her school community at the International School of Krakow. 5. The joy of coloring: Those who have purchased the book have shared their own joy in coloring it, knowing that a young girl’s imagination and family values went into every page. BTW - adults are enjoying it too😍 6. A bigger vision: What started with one little book is just the beginning. We’re hoping to create a whole series that continues to celebrate family values and creativity. Thanks again to everyone who has been part of this journey. We’re just getting started! 😊 Who still wish to support our coloring book and my daughter spirit, here is a link: https://a.co/d/gn64seU 😇😇😇

HOW TO RESOLVE A COMMA SPLICE Not standard: Robert is happy, he ran five miles today. In the realm of grammatical intellection, the above sentence is not up to scratch, and why? The reason is that you cannot employ a comma to join two complete sentences. 1. Enlist a comma alongside a coordinating conjunction. Robert is happy, for he ran five miles today.✔️ 2. Enlist a semicolon. Robert is happy; he ran five miles today.✔️ 3. Enlist a full stop. Robert is happy. He ran five miles today.✔️ 4. Enlist a subordinating conjunction. Robert is happy because he ran five miles today.✔️ By the way, we have rearranged our upcoming giveaway masterclass for 3 and 4 May, 2024. To partake in the learning experience, pay to Craig's Communications Clinic First Bank 203 602 6333 Thereafter, send your receipt to 07083222289 for confirmation. We look forward to seeing you.

Edit by me!

People looove talking about when inspiration strikes and the creative juices start flowing. But inspiration can feel elusive and when there’s no juice, it can’t flow. What if we could cultivate a degree & kind of awareness that made it easy to *be inspired* by whatever we choose to look at? Fresh Squeezed is a workshop that will help you build this skill. We’ll dig into what excites you creatively and give you a method to tap into that whenever you need. You’ll leave with a tool you can use to move your creative projects along when you’re feeling stuck. No matter what you create (poetry, prose, music, performance, visual art, dank memes) this workshop will give you something you can use.
