Progress this month

What I've done this month:

• Finished cleaning up all the cards in Procreate, and I'm ready to print them out so I can finally start using the deck myself!

• Met with one of my "alpha testers" for feedback

• Started another version of the LWB (version 6! I'm wondering whether my tinkering is actually adding value or just a delaying tactic?)

• Finalized plans to travel to the East Coast to see family!

What I'd like to do:

• Contact local printers for estimates (I think I said this last time!)

• Look into a possible Kickstarter campaign

• Connect with the other "alpha testers"

• Incorporate all the feedback and start beta testing

• Schedule my semi-annual reflection & renewal retreat

What I've learned:

• More about polyvagal theory

• How valuable a creative community is to my process

• Everything seems to have gotten more expensive this year!

Takeaway:

• I'm realizing that I need a creative community around me (like Creative Alchemy) to support my best creative efforts -- since CA ended at the end of March, my progress has been in spurts and stops. I know some of this is just the process, but I miss feeling regularly connected to other creatives. I'm not exactly sure how to go about finding this community, however...
