Are you already doing the thing you’re meant to do? – Rita’s notebook
http://ritaottramstad.com/uncategorized/are-you-already-doing-the-thing-youre-meant-to-do
The seinfeld of blogs. Are you already doing the thing you’re meant to do? July 27, 2015. July 30, 2015. During a visit to Powell’s. Early this summer, I found myself irritated by yet another book of the follow-your-bliss ilk, Elle Luna’s The Crossroads of Should and Must: Find and Follow Your Passion. What a churlish, bitter old person I must be, to find such a positive and inspiring (and visually adorable) book irritating! 8220;–despite the fact that I had, for a while, rejected the whole idea th...

Garden Party – Rita’s notebook
http://ritaottramstad.com/projects/garden-notes
The seinfeld of blogs. April 12, 2015. April 12, 2015. I’ve since been sick as all get out (perhaps because I did about 4 hours of hard garden work rather than resting that day?

A creative Catch-22 – Rita’s notebook

The seinfeld of blogs. April 23, 2015. If you are an online friend, you may have noticed that you haven’t heard much from me in quite a while, either here or in your own online space. As is so often the case when a relationship quiets, it’s not about you. It’s me. It’s about something I’ve rarely spoken about and never publicly written about, here or anywhere else: depression. Until a weekend or two back, when the clouds parted for an hour or so on Saturday morning. The night before, I’d read a post.

It’s a puzzle – Rita’s notebook
http://ritaottramstad.com/exercises/its-a-puzzle
The seinfeld of blogs. It’s a puzzle. March 24, 2015. March 27, 2015. Putting a puzzle together is about the only creative work I’ve done in the last month. Perhaps that doesn’t seem very creative. Maybe it isn’t. After all, I haven’t generated anything new, which I’d probably argue is the essence of creativity. And yet, I’m going to claim my puzzling as creative work–because I think the exercise builds cognitive muscles we need when we sit down to make things. As large parts of the puzzle take shape, I ...
