Brick by Brick...What are you building?

Hey Reader,

Last week's brief pondering between creating and building stirred the pot a bit...

So, let's keep stirring. ๐Ÿ˜

In case you missed it, here's the heart of it:

To create something has a 'wave a magic wand and poof there it is' feel to it where building something speaks of an intentional investment of time, focus, commitment, energy and resources.

Now, to clarify, I'm not against the idea or concept of creation. In fact, I'm a content creator (as this email is evidence of). But, I am building a business.

Just like we build friendships or careers or a reputation, what we build is a tangible thing - the efforts of which result in something you can see or experience or hold in your hands.

Yep.

We create a vision but we build a legacy.

We create a plan but then we must go about building it and making it happen.

The creation process involves the ideation of something but it isn't the nuts and bolts of what it becomes.

Without the building, ideas remain just that...ideas. And, let's be honest, sometimes we get stuck in the space of ideas because it feels safe. ๐Ÿ˜•

It takes courage to move from our heads to our hands.

When we talk about building something better, yes, creation plays a vital role in the imaginings and planning of it all. But, the bringing of that idea into reality requires a courageous act of building.

The architect draws up (creates) the floorplan. The contractor builds the house.

So, tell me, what do you want to brick by brick be building?

June 26, 2024 Hey Reader, In a few days, the official month of Pride will come to an end. But, what it stands for - civil rights & equal justice for the LGBTQIA2S+ community - will continue on. In a few days, all of the big corporate commercials championing Pride will fade away as well. But, all of the queer solopreneur & small business owners will still be here providing products and services - as they have been every day of the year. Yes, I am a queer solopreneur. And yes, I provide a...

muddy boots in field

June 12, 2024 Hey Reader, It's been an incredibly rainy spring here in northern Minnesota. ๐Ÿ˜ถ But, I'm not complaining, because I don't have to shovel rain. And, that's a W-I-N!! Interestingly though, the wet earth and muddy trails brought up a childhood memory that makes a lot of sense when I think about how we experience the feeling of being stuck in life. My mom grew up on a farm in western Minnesota. And, when I was a kid, I loved it there. Visiting my grandparents and turning the old...

June 1, 2024 Happy PRIDE Reader, As said in our previous email: Choosing to be authentic is one of the bravest things we can do. And whether this month you are embracing your beautiful LGBTQ2SIA+ authentic self or any other aspect of your life that requires you to be true to you, it is one of the bravest things that you can do. In October 2017, I experienced this in a profound and unforgettable way. Coming out to my family and friends was one of the bravest things I've ever done. My heart...
