The September* Issue 1 | Page 4

LET ME EXPLAIN So I know what you ' re thinking . December is a little late for a September Issue . In that respect , you are completely right . Due to my busy schedule , Netflix queue , and Aries nature , I may have a tendency to bite off a little more than I can chew . That being said , It is my honor to finally present a new Lifestoned Adventures zine - The September Issue ( ish ) . This summer , I experienced a creative crisis of sorts . Feeling stuck in a cycle of taking pictures , posting pictures , and gramming , I felt like I needed to outsource some creativity . I needed to see how other creatives thought , worked , and ( of course ) created . So , I cast a wide net and asked some local and not so local writers , bloggers , artists , and photographer for work that was personal and positive . And boy did they deliver . "OOPS" - SOLA ONITIRI Thank you so much , Julia , for inspiring me to take adulting one step at a time . Thank you , Keiko , for sharing your story and your rules for " Doing you " . Nick , thank you for reminding me that there is beauty , authenticity , and poetry in the oddest places . And thank you , Sarah , for inviting me into your magical workspace to learn about creativity . Finally , thank you all so much for being patient with me and allowing me to explain . This issue is dedicated to all that get up and strive to create , inspire and live . Even if you release your September Issue in December , remember to never stop creating .
