About this tool:
This framework is designed to help creative individuals reflect on their year in a way that fosters growth, joy, and connection. By blending introspection with gratitude and envisioning future possibilities, it nurtures the whole person—encouraging curiosity, resilience, and deeper engagement with their creative process. This approach empowers creators to embrace their journeys while fostering a sense of interconnectedness and meaning. This framework welcomes creative responses such as mood boards, paintings, drawings, and mind maps. If you find it helpful and would like to do so, please share your reflections with me on LinkedIn or at https://bsky.app/profile/phoenixperry.bsky.social
