"Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the romance of the unusual." — Ernest Hemingway

There’s something magical about choosing to see the world through a curious, open, and imaginative lens. As a creative business owner, I know how easy it is to fall into routine—to play it safe, to stick with what we know works. But some of the most meaningful moments in life (and in art!) come when we embrace something unusual.

The “romance of the unusual” might mean saying yes to a spontaneous adventure, or finally giving yourself permission to explore a new path. It might mean wearing something that feels a little bolder, or starting a project that lights your soul on fire—even if it scares you a little.

Follow the ideas that make your heart beat faster. Let yourself be enchanted by things that feel new or strange. Notice what captures your imagination. Trust that there’s beauty in the unknown, in the unexpected. That’s where the magic lives.

Wishing you a week full of wonder and creativity, Happy Monday!
