Is It Just Me or Do You Have A Million Ideas Too?

OK, is it just me, or are the ideas just pouring in lately?

I feel like my mind is overflowing with things I want to create, projects I’ve dreamed about for years, and new visions that come out of nowhere. It’s exciting, but also overwhelming. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what to focus on because I want to do it all. I want to build everything I’ve imagined — every manifestation, every dream, every version of the life I see for myself.

I want meaningful relationships, financial abundance, community, and family. I want a home that feels peaceful and alive, a space where I can host, grow, create, and connect. I want a garden, a studio, and a life full of art, love, and laughter.

Lately, I’ve been noticing how my thoughts and desires have changed with age. My priorities now are so different from when I was in my 20s — or even a few years ago. I see friends building families, buying homes, making incredible money, and living out their own dreams. It’s inspiring, but it also brings up comparison. And I know I’m not alone in that.

Sometimes I catch myself overthinking — wanting to plan everything out. And honestly, that can be a setback. Because while planning has its place, being present feels far more real to me. Life isn’t meant to be completely figured out. It’s meant to be lived, one decision at a time, one experience at a time.

I remind myself often: ideas don’t need to be executed all at once. Writing them down is enough of a start.

That’s why I jot things everywhere like in my sketchbook, my notes app, on random sheets of paper taped to the wall. My Google Drive is wild, full of folders and files that look like the inside of my brain. But that’s the beauty of it. Those spaces are where my ideas get to live until I’m ready to bring them to life.

Teaching has helped me appreciate this process. Being surrounded by my students — seeing their excitement, curiosity, and creative chaos — keeps me inspired. Their energy reminds me that having a million ideas isn’t a burden; it’s a gift.

And sure, it’s overwhelming at times but I want to do everything! Engage in my business, make more art, go back to school, build a community space, get married, have kids, travel, meditate, host dinners, play basketball, and see my friends more often. I want to do all of it.

But there are only so many hours in a day. Between teaching, creating, maintaining relationships, and simply taking care of myself, I don’t always get to everything I want to do. That can be frustrating. And yet, I’m learning to give myself grace.

Because the truth is — I am doing a lot. I’m researching, planning, creating, reflecting, and growing. I’m giving myself the space to think, fail, succeed, and try again. And that’s something that I am so proud of.

The beauty of creativity — and being human — is that we’ll always have more ideas. They don’t run out. They just evolve. The more we express them, the more they multiply.

So if you’re like me, filled with ideas about life, art, community, love, and purpose — write them down. Talk about them. Share them. Don’t hold them hostage in your mind. You don’t have to make them all happen right now.

Just start with one.
And then another.
And keep trusting that each idea is leading you somewhere beautiful.

Because when you let your ideas flow, you create space for them to become real.

So tell me — am I the only one with a million ideas spinning around right now, or are you feeling it too?

With peace & gratitude,
