Congratulations, Trina Stutzman Coaching for the acknowledgement in Woman's World Magazine. Your book is so popular and helpful!! xoxo

Thank you to whoever recommended me for this interview, I'm so pumped : )

Meet Karen Smith | Photographer and Designer We had the good fortune of connecting with Karen Smith and we've shared our conversation below. Hi Karen, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business? I think my greatest accomplishment in social impact was getting hired by a live event production company in Los Angel

Is my book on your winter reading list? This summer one happy reader took my book to her happy place…

Dr. Joe is pretty much my hero.

Changemaker. Author. Warrior.

Maxine Hong Kingston's work is as wondrous and alive as ever in this collection Kingston burst onto the scene in 1976 with The Woman Warrior and then kept writing. Critic John Powers says that, like James Baldwin, she's managed to shift American culture and remain relevant.

My Life Coach was on this podcast with Dr. Zoe. Powerful topic: People Pleasing. Check it out.

Hey so... I am working on a book cover design, and I need a very specific photograph of a woman walking away from the lens, she's wearing jeans and a flannel shirt. She also has red hair, but I don't want to push it.

: )

If anyone has a similar image, I will buy it from you... Let me know!

thanks so much. 🙏

Today I:

• Designed an eBook for an author + life coach (cover below).

• Designed a newsletter for another author + life coach.

• Got personally requested by an author to design the cover for his next book.

• Worked on a website I'm designing for a holistic business consultant.

Hashtag:

So, the book cover I designed for author Trina Stutzman is now available for sale on Amazon! I'm very proud of it, and Trina told me at the book launch that prior to meeting me she was getting discouraged, having tossed out the previous work of 10 other designers. I nailed her vision on the first try. The universe works in mysterious ways.

Now it's easier to send Smitherine a message.

I'm traveling to LA this weekend to join my friends in the film community as they debut their documentary to raise awareness to ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. The documentary is called The Last Marathon and the trailer is here: www.thelastmarathon.org
Please watch and share to help us raise awareness, too.

I just finished building a website for a California entrepreneur. He had the best quote I hadn't heard before, and I'm a quote ju**ie. He said,
"I'm totally flexible. It's good to be flexible, because then nothing can get you bent out of shape." And I was like: TOTALLY BRO! :)

Writing Memoir: Your Truth As Creative Story

All classes have been full. I have one date left (this Sunday!!) for memoir and just a few spots left.

In this class we will be diving deep into your very unique stories, and personal voice.

Tell us your grief, tell us your revival, tell us your clarity, tell us the time you found everything you’d imagined or nothing at all, and please, take us there so we can breathe, taste and know it.

I teach in small, live, intimate groups over Zoom, which is the closest thing to it being in person.

Non writers are always welcome as I promise I will help you become a great writer far faster than you can imagine, and zoom is an amazing platform- the closest thing to it being in person.

What you get:

- A 3-hour live Zoom workshop with a small group of amazing people.
- A space that is sacred and non-judgmental to share, laugh, cry, write, and be completely authentically YOU!
- LOTS of writing practice, writing in a way you may never have experienced before.
- Hours of information about words, creativity, and how to use your body, movement, and intuition to develop natural flow.
- An ongoing private Facebook immensely supportive group/writing community to further inspire and encourage your writing practice, AND connect with a supportive new tribe. (This secret group is completely run and managed by me and growing more magical over time! I provide so much writing inspiration in there on a constant basis to further spark and encourage your writing journey.)
- A brand new, fresh look on creativity, which I believe is the doorway to everything.

Join us in ceremony and circle.

I'm starting to teach kids & teens photography & photoshop. My website is here: www.smitherineinteractive.com. If you think anyone might be interested, let me know! I feel like the world is so insane right now, and kids are losing faith in humanity, and more sadly, in us adults. I would have killed for a creative outlet like this when I was a teen, so I've decided to pay it forward. Creativity allows the imagination to open up and is actually good for kid's brains! Let us not forget that it's our imaginations that get us out of the present day insanity (i.e. meditation, visualizations, guided imagery, etc.). The times will change, but in the meantime, I hope to help kids find a way to feed their spirits

This is pretty brilliant!

The path of a maturing thinker. In order to get to Grown-Up Mountain and start real learning, you have to brave the cold winds of Insecure Canyon. If you're not willing to say "I don't know" for a while, you might spend your whole life on Child’s Hill.
