There's been a lot of talk in my social media circles about "subtracting" - removing the things from your life, business, relationships, etc. that are no longer needed, that are possibly, even clogging the way for more and better things to appear.

Creative Inspiration
A couple of posts ago, I talked about the Artist's Date - the commitment to your Inner Artists for an outing, once a week, at least one hour long, to restock your well.
