July late newsletter

There is the newsletter sent on july 22th 2002.
Its never too late to subscribe!

* * *

When I ride my bike, i often discover new places and this makes me feel alive.

~~~ What makes you feel alive? ~~~

Monthly quote
Definition of what is wellbeing, from Brian Eno, Musician:
“Having just the right amount of time”
(Quote found in an old issue of Bare magazine.
Recycling old magazines is a good idea!)

What’s new?
Lots of things!

*First, this newsletter! I will try to let you know, as shortly as i can,
what’s going on with the projects i am working on, and of course i will
try to share a bit of what inspires me…
I hope this newsletter can put some sun in your day!

* Second news, CreativeDay (http://creativeday.unitedsituation.de)
was mentioned in Sark’s June e-letter! A lot of people are contributing
to the site everyday, sharing about what inspire them, what is creativity
for them, etc. I also receive lots of e-mail from people saying how
reading other peoples interviews inspired them! If you haven’t
filled out your interview yet you can still do it now!

*Also, i finally have some merchandising online!
For now you can get high quality copies of my illustrations for
25 Euro (US $29 outside Europe), including shipping cost.
I also just designed limited edition mousepads and mugs of
‘Traveling Dreamer In New York’, more products will join later on.

More infos in the shop section,

Things i am working on
* Doing less and take more time just to “be”… and this is quite difficult!

* Updating CreativeDay
There will now be a feature interview every month. Would you like to
suggest someone? Someone who inspire you, someone who make you feel
life is worth living every second? Let me know!

* I am also updating my weblog from time to time with daily thoughts,
ideas, inspiring books, websites, etc. It is a constant experiment and also
a nice toy (i meant tool :)!

Things i would like to do
* Travel travel travel! Meet new people and share!
* Paint and draw more
* Inspire more people to live their dreams
* Relax and have trust that there is enough time.

Things i am too afraid to do
* Travel alone
* Speaking German
* Be myself, everyday in every situation.

A gift for you,
my *Sparkling August* calendar page!
Get ready for August! I just finished my August’s “easy to live with”
calendar, free and ready for you to download & print out.

I first did the calendar page for my personal use, since i can never
find a agenda that fits to my needs, and decided to share it online.
Lets see if the world will look less serious in august.. ;)

The page is not like a usual agenda, i haven’t displayed all the days,
because if you are like me, i totally hate to see my agenda crowded
with notes and appointments. I need more free time than working time,
that’s why i only put some fields named “Important Dates” so you can
note the dates you shouldn’t miss. There is also my “monthly quote”,
and a list of “Things I should do” and “Things i would like to do”.
Why? because i am learning that happiness lies in following what
we like to do.

Once printed out, the calendar page is 8×11 inch size so it can be
either fixed on a wall near your working area (like i do), or you
can take it with you in a notebook.

The only thing i ask in exchange is for you to let me know if you
use the calendar, and your comments about it! (such as “put more
lines in the “things i would like to do” section!”, or anything else :)

Otherwise share it and enjoy!

The *Sparkling August* calendar page here .

I need your help!
* I am searching for a representative, it would help me if you can
spread my url or let me know if you might know someone who could
represent me!

* You can always buy my illustrations, cups, mouse pads, for you
or as gift, they might put some sun in your life and in the lifes of people
around you!

* Also, please try to be happy! Dont take things too seriously, and
try to do things that you love to do. More happy people we are,
better our world will be :)

I wish you a nice August, and until the next newsletter,
dont be shy to get in touch, i would like to hear from you!

Sunny greetings from Hamburg, Germany,

m-c

    Dear m-c,

    i truly understand what you mean by trying to do less and “be” more! that looks like the main problem in everyone’s life right now… sadly… The systems on wich our society is based on seems to not work anymore for lots of people. Many people realize that answers are coming from within.. not from the outside… From rather taking quiet time with ourself instead of trying to produce so much…

    well, i just wanted to say that i understant what you mean!
