Commentary Refute

Let's be real – the creative process is a roller coaster. We all experience highs of inspiration and lows of self-doubt. It's in these challenging moments that refutation steps in as a guiding light. Instead of resisting criticism or feeling defeated, refutation encourages us to confront our work head-on, identifying areas for improvement and learning from them. My wife gave me a box of cards for the holidays in 2022. I was puzzled because they were creativity cards and I thought, what the heck is this, I don't need them. Well, folks, I was wrong and I will attempt to do a card a week and record an episode about how I am utilizing the card I draw every week if you decide to pick up a deck and do these let me know.
