New Website, New Practices

Well, I figured it was about time to put a new website up. Something that is representative of where I am now – the work I’m doing and the things that I value. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to organize how I should best represent myself, and this website is the result of that time and effort.

With the new website comes a renewed commitment to “The Practice.” The consistent practice of creating, learning, and sharing. This includes writing, taking more photos, and making progress on various projects. In a recent episode of the Chase Jarvis Live Show, Chase interviewed Seth Godin about his new book “The Practice: Shipping Creative Work.” The interview is a shot of inspiration, and in it, Seth and Chase discuss the importance of having a practice, or practices. Things you do every day, regardless of the immediate outcome. You can listen to the podcast episode here…

Committing to the practices that are in the service of the outcomes we hope for, even if we can’t control them (we most often don’t control the outcomes, only the choices we make) is a noble effort that has it’s own rewards. With the new website, I’m committing to those practices – both the ones that I know about now, and new ones that may surface in service of desired outcomes.

Here’s to a new year, and hope for a better one as we all strive to commit to our practices.
