Creative Living with Jamie: Kelly Besecke

This podcast is 34:01.

This Week on Creative Living with Jamie:

Kelly Besecke, writer & editor

Kelly Besecke is an Austin, Texas, writer and editor with a background in sociology and a penchant for spirituality, creativity, and authentic living. Her first book, You Can’t Put God in a Box: Thoughtful Spirituality in a Rational Age, is about “educated spiritual seekers”–people interested in both the wisdom of the world’s religions and the life of the mind. Educated seekers use religion and reason together to find a happy intersection between “what’s inspiring” and “what makes sense.” Kelly’s second book, tentatively titled Bliss and Money, will describe the many ways that people earn a living while pursuing a creative career. In fact, she’d love to interview you for that book!

Creative Living with Jamie: Elif Işıközlü

This podcast is 30:57.

This Week on Creative Living with Jamie:

Elif Işıközlü, Director

Director Elif Isikozlu’s most recent work is ETUDES: Four Short Dance Films. Each ETUDE visualizes the experience of movement merging camera, choreography, and occasionally Bach. The ETUDES have screened internationally including the CFC’s Worldwide Short Film Festival, Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad Digital Edition, New York’s Dance on Camera, Video Danza Buenos Aires, Chicago International Movies & Music, with “let go” nominated for a Golden Sheaf Best Experimental Short at Yorkton. Elif also directs theatre, often including large projections in her work. Her “brilliant and contemporary production” (Ottawa Citizen, February 2012) of Arrabal’s “Le Cimetière des voitures” merged film and theatre through a live foley soundscape, projected via live feed onto the actors at unpredictable intervals. Her multi-media installation “pebbled” was featured at fFIDA Toronto (2005). She is a Canada Council and Ontario Arts Council grant recipient, and a member of the Lincoln Center Theater Directors Lab, New York.

Clear & Claim

At certain points of the year, and at certain points in our lives, there comes a time to both shake things up and pin things down, a time to let some things go while holding onto others more tightly.

There is a time to clear and a time to claim.

We all know the value of decluttering, how good it feels to clear out what no longer serves, whether that’s shoes that hurt our feet or relationships that hurt our hearts. It is a powerful practice to clear our homes, our schedules, our hearts and our lives.

It’s powerful to edit.

And as we grow experienced with editing, more and more we develop our discernment.

Pu-lease take that away!! But that, never.

This jacket was me 10 years ago.

That blouse is so 10 years ago and it was never me!

These red boots represents who and where I am right now, right here.

And this tattoo I pinned, that’s the me I hope to be.

A part of clearing is claiming.

As you send something away, you say to yourself and the Universe, “No, not this. Thank you very much.”

As you choose to keep something, you say, “Oh, yes, this! Yes, thank you very much.”

Clearing and claiming, like yin and yang, balance our lives.

These actions magnetically move us, choice by choice (no to this, yes to that, no to this, yes to that) towards our self and the life we long to live.

But don’t take my word for it. As with all things in our creative lives, the only way to know if something actually works for us is to give it a try. Let’s start today.

For a Clearing and Claiming Quickstart, answer these questions:

What’s one thing you want to clear?
What’s one thing you want to claim?
What do these two choices say about you and the life you want to be living?

Jamie’s Clearing and Claiming Quickstart

Unfinished projects.
Myself as an artist.
It is time to create some closure and make room for who I am becoming.

What about you?
