Podcast #38 :: A Conversation with Christine Mason Miller

Ordinary sparkling moments copy

Ok then it’s not a Creative Thursday, but I have new podcast for you on this Tuesday anyway! Mainly because all the "recording" stars lined up and I was able to finish editing this one (and you know how I am about "saving" things...not so good) secondly because today is Christine’s birthday so what better day than to share some of her story with you!

And I say "some" of her story, because it goes without saying that endless hours of conversation with Christine could be shared with you. Not only because she is a dear friend of mine who I talk to at length about everything under the sun, but also because she has been in this creative world for quite some time. Her career journey started with a company called Swirly Girl, years later has evolved and transitioned ~ and now I am introducing you to Christine a fine artist, a fellow blogger, and a first time author with a BEAUTIFUL (in every possible way) self-published book that she just released this past September.

We thought since we both self-published books this year, our first podcast together could focus a little on that process, in case we can offer any assistance to those of you wanting to self-publish a book as well. It’s new territory and we’re here to share what we’ve learned as well as share more insight into the creative life, as all of my podcast "conversations" continue to do.

I hope you enjoy this one! and happy birthday to Christine!!!

Thank you so much for posting this...I was feeling a little down before I listened....But your conversation lifted my spirits...What most of all helped was Christine's reading of an excerpt from her book...I have to sit down with it tonight again...It really inspires!
I loooooved doing the interview with you Marisa - THANK YOU!!
Thank you for introducing me to another fabulously creative woman! What a great interview. I loved the fact that it touched on so many issues that I think effect us all from knowing how to pay attention to your gut and not the scared voice to solid advice for self-publishing. I agree that this is an interesting time. Everything is shifting and new opportunities abound. Thank you to the both of you for your candor humor and inspiration.
oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Christine! May the coming year bring you happiness, love and incredible adventures
The time is now...
So glad you've included that last little bit.
It's was great listening to you two.
Happy Birthday Christine!
This is so inspirational..thank you marisa and Christine. I also love those little giggles and laughters...added so much more spirits to the podcast. This is great timming, i'm just about to shop for my next inspiration book...and Christine's book fits just perfect! Happy birthday Christine! *sing happy birthday song*
Hi Marisa! Hi Christine! :) This is such a great podcast, I really enjoyed it and especially liked hearing Christine's voice which will now make her blog and book that much more real to me. Thank you Marisa for this wonderful conversation with a very inspirational and authentic lady.
