In my last post, I wrote about the power of creating for its own sake and for our own selves, even if what we create isn’t “good” as defined by conventional standards. Here I want to talk about something that may seem like a paradox but isn’t: the power of not creating, of taking in instead of putting out.

Dearest Pinkies, please welcome back Leah Shapiro, Head Rabble Rouser at DefytheBox.com. Leah works with women who are tired of the self doubt and the frustration that they are feeling, and who are no longer willing to give up their dreams in order to fit into the role that society has cast them in. Today, she brings us some fresh - and quite Pink, if we do say so - ways to approach making changes in our lives. Thank you as always, Leah, for your convention-defying wisdom. Love to you, sister.
