Episode 9: 20 Minutes, Two Sheets of Paper, and a Pen

A screenshot from the video version of today’s podcast. Let’s go doodling together!

Who’s In?

In honor of my new book, Doodle Your Way Out of Stuckness: Imagination Lessons for Changing the World (and rearranging your furniture), I’ve set up an audio doodling game-slash-experiment. Now all I need are willing participants. 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏾🙋🏼‍♂️

Thanks! I knew I could count on you. 😉

Here’s how it works:

1) You grab a couple of pieces of paper and a pen.
2) You follow the doodling prompts in the 20-minute podcast episode (or the video version).
3) After you finish (and color it if you want), email me a photo of your doodle.
4) I’ll include your photo in next month’s PICTURES post, on November 13th.

That’s it! Now here we go, into the mental relaxation zone…

Yeah, I’ll do just about anything to get people doodling with me. 🤓📝

Antsy? Unsure? At minute 17:30-ish I describe how I’m hoping this experiment might work.

At minute 19:10 I explain why I’m convinced doodling can help transform our modes of thinking, enough that I wrote a book about it. You can also hop over to my shop and read the book’s description.

Just for Fun — oh, and also to Change the World

The printed copies of my book have arrived, and I love them — woohoo! Several dozen have already found new homes. ☺️

The book offers some doodling how-to but goes deeper. Together — because it’s an inter-active workbook-journal-type of thing — we’ll explore how the combo of writing plus embellishments and imagery sparks a left brain/right brain super-charged experience. We’ll listen to see whose voices turn up as we’re doodling, and what messages they convey that keep us from taking the creative risks our soul wants to take. That’s the stuckness I’m talking about. Maybe you can relate?

Introductory pricing ($15 each, 2 for $25) ends Oct. 31st; prices will bump up a bit in November.

Doodle Your Way Out of Stuckness is also available as a downloadable .pdf.

Let’s open up our imaginations so we can solve the massive — and minuscule — problems that face us. The safe playground of the doodle page is a great place to start.

With love and swirling flowers,
