“And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been." - Rainer Maria Rilke

Where's Amber? On a grateful, creative journey. This week's blog is about as reflective as I probably am right now...

Acknowledge Earth Is Our Home

As this publishes out into the world, perhaps a bit later than usual, to honor all those that celebrated a bit late last night....

I'm on a journey.

Yesterday about noonish until just a bit after on Sunday --

Yep, a whole 4 nights, I'm unplugging from electronics and being out in nature.

Camping in my car at a hot springs site.

Bathing.

Warming.

Cooling.

Eating.

Resting.

Detoxing.

To the rhythm of the sun in the sky.

And the wisdom of my body.

I'm grateful to celebrate my relationship with nature in this way to start 2025.

Discover Your Earth Archetype

Right before I logged off, I spent the day absorbing content that will influence the 2 sizzle reels I plan to release in Q1.

1. Impact in Reality TV. Using the language of execs, I'm creating this sizzle based from the panel I produced in November. Reflecting on what we all shared, a potency exists that needs to be shared -- to make tv that 1/3 of Americans watch leave an impression for a better, more caring world.

2. How on Earth? I wondered blankly for. along time how I could do a sizzle for my tv show before I cast the hosts. Then a mentor gave me an enormous download of suggestions to sharpen my pitch -- including a 2 minute video to use as a template. Brilliant!

This absorption on Tuesday was very much on purpose.

By filling my senses with these ideas, I will put my subconscious to work as my body, heart, and mind relax during my time in nature.

Prepared with a journal in my bag, I'm ready, open, and willing to receive creative inspiration.

To let nature be my muse.

Can't wait to share what comes of it when I return!

Work Together in Community

Thank you to all the people that bought greeting cards and gave donations in December.

Your support is what will allow me to make these creative visions a reality.

I observed and celebrated each gift as it came in.

No matter the size.

1 card or 100.

10s of dollars or 100s.

Each one left an imprint on my heart.

And a story to share.

It's amazing what we can do when we work together!
