I almost ordered to go... (but stopped)


What my coffee break taught me about showing up for creative play

Hi Reader,

This morning, I almost ordered my coffee to go. I was rushing, overwhelmed, and thinking about everything I had to do. But something stopped me.

I decided to stay.

That simple choice to "dine in" with my coffee turned into a reflection about how we treat our own creativity. We often rush through life waiting for the perfect moment to create, forgetting that the next best moment is right now.

I wrote about this experience today in a new post:

Inside, I share an invitation to find YOUR safe space and spend some time in our PTP community. The standard offer is two weeks free, no strings attached.

But, Reader, since you are a loyal subscriber, reply to this email directly, and I'll upgrade your pass to 6 weeks free. That's a saving of $35 AUD ($25 USD).

Just hit reply and say "I'm in," and I will personally get you added to the group chat. No forms, just connection with a real human, ME!

Sending love on the wind.
