Hello from Erika Speed!!!

The Cre8tive Life

Issue 79- September 25, 2020

Hello Friends-

"Welcome back to this week's episode of, "The Cre8tive Life"- your weekly newsletter full of lifestyle tips, smiles, and musings.

I don't necessarily have a lot to "share" in this portion this week... If you've been a subscriber/reader for a while, you may have heard me talk about being a bit of an HSP and an empath. There are varying degrees of this; but, in short, for those who are not familiar, here's a little read on it. All that to say, I am in one of my silent /introverted moods and limiting a lot of extra "stimulation" of things that feel draining to me energetically...

Anyway, sending you love, hugs, and good vibes.

Random stories, pictures, video highlights, and other life musings can be found on my personal instagram page (@e101) and official brand page (@thecre8tiveartisan) throughout the week (when/if I end up posting anything).

*And, if you have missed any previous newsletters, feel free to check out the archive section on my website: HERE.

Continued prayers that you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy

(mentally & physically) out there 💗.

MY WEEKLY PICKS:

My weekly (random) compilation of some of my favorite "cre8tive" things that I want to share:

FAVORITE WORD: Perspicacious (adj): of acute mental vision or discernment; having keen mental perception and understanding

ADVICE: “If the plan doesn't work, change the plan. But, never change the goal." - Anonymous

MOOD MUSIC: In the wake of the events this past week, I've been listening to H.E.R's "I Can't Breathe.

QUARANTINE RECOMMENDATION: I recently saw the documentary, "The Social Dilemma", on Netflix. I found it to be quite illuminating on the ways in which social media has evolved over time, and the impact it has had on the world. I highly recommend it as a watch.

THE MORE YOU KNOW: In tribute to the legendary, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I'm sharing information on the wonderful movie, "On The Basis Of Sex." I was blessed to attend the official premiere of this film, and was totally blown away by her life story. She indelibly left a mark on the world, and will be sorely missed.

LIFESTYLE TIP: Sharing this very interesting podcast episode on "building empathy in a connected and confrontational world" from Hidden Brain. This is definitely something that world needs more of.

FEEL GOOD SHARE: This story of billionaire, Chuck Feeney, achieving his life goal of giving away his $8 Billion fortune this week gave me a little glimpse of optimism around humanity.

MUSINGS ON LIFE:

May we all eat well.
