This week we are focusing on ways to recharge your batteries. That is what this week in the Love on Designers month is about too. We are going to come together for a meet-up and to share how we recharge our creative batteries.

Here are some questions we will ask each other:

1. When do you feel most run-down?

2. What do you do that supplies you a jolt of energy at work?at home?

3. Is there an activity you can do to almost always get your creative juices flowing?

4. Is there an activity you can do to lift your spirits?

5. What can you do this week to love on yourself and give some much needed self-care?

6. Is social media a drain or a lifter for you?These are do-able. Come on screen with me on Wednesday. We want to love on you too.

Week 3 for Love on Designers is RECHARGE

This is a week for you, so focus on you and giving you what you need this week. Shoot a picture and use the hashtag #loveondesigners this week and let us know how you are taking care of yourself this week.

My favorite way to build websites is with the Elementor Plugin that works with almost any theme. Making almost any theme invincible, this plugin has changed the way I have been able to design websites. This plugin is the elementor plugin. Where other plugins fell short elementor used common sense and was so easy to understand and implement with.

I am loving the elementor plugin, total game changer. Use this affiliate link to purchase the plan right for you. http://bit.ly/DRelementor

My favorite theme to use which works great with the Elementor plugin is the Elegant Themes’ Divi theme. Talk about making custom web design easy. It is the only theme I need. Based off of a grid system and now with a visual builder, you can now customize your website super easy with this wordpress theme. Elegant themes puts out tutorials and are always updating the theme to make it more robust and easier to use. You can pay per year or do what I did and do the lifetime membership at $250 then you can put it on as many websites as you want.

Have you ever longed for having clear purpose?

Have you ever felt "called" to do a certain thing or a profession?

Do you want to encourage others?

Do you feel led to make the world a better place?

Are you an illustrator or designer but aren't sure how to market your work or your skills?

Have you ever met someone who is so filled with joy it is contagious? Do you want some of that joy? This week my good friend, Jodi Miller will share how she left Fear at an airport in Denver and never looked back and her new companion was Joy.

There will definitely be some sharing of what Jesus did for Jodi this week.

Jodi doesn't walk in that same fear now. She has worked for Eddie Bauer Home, Tommy Bahama, Two Old Hippies, and a plethora of others but now Jodi says she is a full-time freelancer for God. God is using Jodi's talents and heart to help others in her Boise Idaho art community, with refugees, and people who are hurting through her experiential art shows, her church, and her revival group called the Collective.

How do you learn? What tools and resources have you used to get you further? What happens when you get into a subject and decide you don't like it? What do you do when you need to pivot to move ahead?

Episode 283. Airs Wednesday, January 16 at 2:30pm ET / 11:30am PT.

Things happen, things happen we don't plan for. What do you do when life's water balloon explodes inside your house? This week we had to pivot and we will be doing our episode with Adam Grason soon I promise. But we had to reschedule.

I thought what a good time to do a meet-up again. When a few of us (max 100) pop online and talk about a topic. Since last week's episode, I have been thinking about how we pivot as we are finding new things we want to learn. Want to talk about that and other ways and resources you have found to learn?

There is a lot more to this post. Want to read it? Go here if you do. www.rechargingyou.com/283

Are your passion and your career aligned?

Do you ever wish your side hustle was your full-time gig?

Do you want to know how to make products?

Are you interested in teaching workshops?

Are you looking for other streams of revenue?

Episode 280. Aired Wednesday, December 12, 2018.

This week I am excited to introduce you to Nathalie Kalbach, a mixed-media artist illustrator, creator of Creative JumpStart, author, writer, and entrepreneur. Nathalie has taught workshops all over the world, and creates products for the craft industry.

I first heard of Nathalie because of a product I bought that she is the mastermind behind, called Creative JumpStart. It is a video series during the month of January where she coordinates artists, products, and a theme for the ENTIRE month. It serves as a creative inspiration and for me has showed me new artists and new processes of making art. I have purchased it every year since them and LOVED every minute of January because of it. Nathalie started off her career as a paralegal.

Yes, that's right, you did not mis-read, yes a paralegal at a law firm. Nathalie and I will talk about why she chose that path and how she left that career, trusted her gut and pursued her passion of art. She is a successful entrepreneur because she has been able to diversify her income streams and never have to stop creating. She regularly takes on different challenges and that is just one of the things that inspires me about Nathalie.

Does your inner voice regularly berate you? Do you have a hard time turning that monster inside your head off? Do you say things to yourself that you would never say to a friend?

This week we are going to be talking to my friend Alicja Colon, who is a designer turned photographer and illustrator. She is a mom of three and a wife. Her faith is a critical part of her life and her freelance business. She worked for many years with Focus Lab in Savannah and in September of this year went out on her own.

This week I am excited to introduce you to Alicja Colon, a paper artist illustrator, designer, and photographer. Alicja has taught workshops, given talks at conferences. She also has a podcast called Manual Focus. On top of all that she is a wife and mom of three, and in September she quit her full time gig to go out on her own. Talk about wearing a lot of hats! Alicja will tell you her biggest struggle has been her negative self-talk.

This episode will dig into how she has been able to wrangle the inner-voice monster and turn it into a cheerleader instead of a beast that lords over her feelings and thoughts.
