Look again. Closer this time. 🔎

Sometimes what you’re looking for isn’t far away — it’s just hiding in the details.

Dear Creativity,

I took a close-up of my drink —not because I needed another photo, but because something about the colors, textures, and contrast begged to be noticed.

The chili.
The dried citrus.
The salt clinging to the rim.

Up close, it didn’t even look like a drink anymore. It looked like something else entirely —a tiny world, full of heat and story and sharp edges softened by light.

You’ve always taught me that magic doesn’t just live in the “what.”
It lives in how I look.
When I slow down, when I shift perspective, when I get close enough to deeply see.

What would happen if we looked again?
Got closer?
Let the familiar surprise us?

Thanks for reminding me that sometimes, the biggest shift is just a smaller frame.

Innovatively yours,
Dr. Abigail
