My sabbatical... a year for creative discoveries!
In two weeks time I will embark on a unique adventure, my own special sabbatical! This is something I've always wanted to do... just get away from the hustle & bustle of life & remember what it means to LIVE. You know, travel, create, learn new languages, read new books, write, act, & really just do anything I've always wanted to do.
It's so strange that from an early age we're all encouraged to follow the same road map. Finish grades K-12, then go to college for a few years, then get a respectable corporate job, get married, buy a house, pop out a few babies, save for the golden years... then die...? It blows my mind how boring this all sounds... & yet we all buy into this same story-line. Hence, the sabbatical!
I was inspired by the amazing TED Talk from Stefan Sagmeister & his notion that every 7 years you should go on sabbatical to recharge & refresh your creative outlook. Perhaps we should all take time to clear out the clutter of our own mind & remember what it's like not only to day dream, but make your actual days dream like!
I've included the video below, let me know what you think... and maybe you should start planning your own sabbatical...! Stay tuned for updates on my progress during this adventure!
Wish me luck & Onward,
