A Tiny Creative Ritual to Begin Your Day

Begin Your Day with One Creative Act

Over the years — whether I’m in Paris or San Francisco — I’ve returned again and again to a tiny ritual: I start my morning with one simple creative moment.

I never pressure myself for a masterpiece... I don't even hope for a finished project. I just give myself time to play. Time to be present.

"A morning creative ritual is the best way to start the day - for me it's my coffee and journal. What's your creative ritual? Bises, Betsy"
-My note to you on my postcard.
