Sunrise on the Lake

Sunrise On The Lake

I sit with my mug of coffee
Watching the sun rise over the bay
Wisps of fog hover just above the water
Until rays of light peak through
And the mist clears
A breath of air roughs up the surface
And sunlight glitters like sprinkles on a little girl's birthday cake
Every now and then a fish jumps
And an eagle dives

The sun climbs quickly
On it's arc across the sky
And before I know it
The show is over

Art & Words by Beverly Ash Gilbert, Being Mindful, The Art of Creating Joy, Spreading Kindness + Joy

We hold the power to rise above feelings of anger and frustration and focus on what brings us together rather than what drives us apart. We can choose kindness and understanding over fear and tribalism.

Are They Your Words or Mine? A Creative's Perspective on AI

Creative Business, Life Lessons

My words may tumble out of my head and land inelegantly on the page—But I promise you. They will ALWAYS be my words. I have never—and will never—use AI to write my words, or paint my stories, or write my books, or design my classes. The day I do will be the day I stop calling myself a Creative.
