Maeg Yosef is an artist, illustrator, and writer living in the Happy Valley of Western MA with her husband, stepdaughter, and son. You can find her writing about art-making, kid-raising, and creative living on her blog,
Edison Rex, and see her artwork here. When she’s not working to inspire you through her writing or bring you joy by putting art on your walls, you’ll probably find her up way too early, drinking way too much green tea, and attempting a wild new yoga position. Or maybe just on Twitter or Facebook.

Growth. It’s not all grace and epiphany.

Creating Congruence

Creating Congruence

By maeg-yosef on January 26, 2012

Last week Tara Gentile shared a thoughtful post here on Scoutie Girl all about creating a lifestyle that is authentic to you. It spoke to me, because I’m there. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about authenticity, harmony, congruence. About whether my values, desires, and what I want from life actually match up with my..yeah, life! The [...]

By maeg-yosef on January 12, 2012

Hey, Scoutie Girl readers! You might want your journal or pen and paper handy for this one. Here we go! Our lives are full of patterns and habits, from how we think or argue, to how we tie our shoes or brush our teeth. We have patterns in our creative work and business lives as [...]

making the choice – or – go scuba diving for pearls of resentment

By maeg-yosef on December 21, 2011

I love my creative business. I enjoy it while I’m working, and it’s often what I’m thinking about when I’m doing something else. On some level, I’m always scanning my surroundings for a sound or an image that will spark an idea. Sound familiar? I love my creative business, but deep deep down, while doing some [...]

By maeg-yosef on December 8, 2011

A few weeks ago I wrote a big piece for my blog and oh, it was wonderful. The words came so easily. I knew without thinking just how to make each transition from thought to thought. I needed to do some revision, sure, but the whole thing arrived like a fully-formed dream and got a great [...]
