Snail mail

I'm a little more than a week into this project and having a lot of fun with it. While I am enjoying myself doing this, it is also serving its intended purpose really well. I am developing a discipline of both reading my bible every day AND doing something creative every day. It is also teaching me to loosen up and let go, bit by bit. The idea isn't to spend hours each day creating draft after draft until I'm satisfied; it's to spend a few minutes each day connecting and creating. I have to quiet the voice in my head telling me to start over because that line isn't straight enough, or I don't like where this is heading. It isn't about being perfect.

5 (of the many) things I want from Raygun

There are plenty of unique places to explore in Des Moines' East Village, including previously mentioned shops, Found Things and Domestica, deliciously undead restaurant Zombie Burger, and Raygun, a t-shirt shop specializing in tongue-in-cheek love for the Midwest. It's another place I have trouble spending money because I know if I buy one thing, I'll buy them all.

Here are five things I want from Raygun right now:
