Negotiating for Freelancers
You: Mind if I pick your brain?
Me: Sure, mind if I pick your pocket?
I used a lip liner pencil to draw on a (crappy) beard tonight. I definitely felt different. The best descriptor I can think of is mean-muggin’. I just FELT like a badass. I wish it looked more real.

Build pockets of stillness into your life.
Build pockets of stillness into your life. Meditate. Go for walks. Ride your bike going nowhere in particular. There is a creative purpose to daydreaming, even to boredom. The best ideas come to us when we stop actively trying to coax the muse into manifesting and let the fragments of experience float around our unconscious mind in order to click into new combinations. Without this essential stage of unconscious processing, the entire flow of the creative process is broken.
The StillPoint Method is a perfect way to build stillness into your day and life!

Brain Picking is Free Consulting ~ Toni Cade Bambara
Toni Cade Bambara
"Toni always cautioned me to be leery of people that I did not know and/or people who were in positions of power who wanted to “pick my brain.” Her position was that “brain picking” was free consulting. While she was not opposed to the idea of free consulting on a “case by case” basis, she thought it was very important that people name the services that they were soliciting and refrain from using cute terms to mask the requests. Toni was adamant that I learn how to develop a “brain picking” pay scale based on the amount of time and level of work each request would require from me." ~ Aishah Shahidah Simmons
