Creativity and balance 

The best thing about creativity is that it gives us a break from whatever is happening around us. When life feels overwhelming, creativity offers a sanctuary where we can lose ourselves in the process of making, imagining, and exploring. It’s a place where the rules of the everyday world don’t apply, and we’re free to experiment, dream, and express our deepest thoughts and feelings. Whether it’s…

The Artillery Clock: What Living Near a Range Taught Me About Time

Living near an artillery range changes your relationship with time forever. Each explosion isn't just noise—it's a heartbeat of existence, a physical reminder that another moment has just passed and will never return. It's a unique chronometer that measures life not in silent seconds, but in reverberating booms that shake your windows and resonate in your chest.

At first, these explosions were my enemies. They interrupted thoughts, shattered concentration, and disturbed any semblance of peace. But over time, they became something else entirely: teachers of one of life's most crucial lessons.

The Physical Reality of Time

We live in a world where time has become abstract—numbers changing on screens, calendar notifications, digital reminders. But there's something profoundly different about feeling time's passage through your entire body. When each moment arrives with a force that makes your bones vibrate, you can't maintain the comfortable illusion that time is an infinite resource.

The artillery range strips away our modern cushioning from time's reality. Each boom asks a simple question: What did you do with that moment? Did you use it to move forward, to build, to grow? Or did you let another precious block of time slip away into the void?

The Relentless Auditor

Every explosion becomes an audit of your commitment:

Did you protect what needed protecting?

Did you build what needed building?

Did you teach what needed teaching?

Did you act when action was needed?

The artillery doesn't care about your excuses. It doesn't pause because you need more time. It just keeps marking the passages, keeps counting down the moments, keeps reminding you that time is the one resource you can never mine more of.

From Awareness to Action

This isn't about living in fear or constant stress. It's about living with acute awareness. When you can physically feel time's passage, you start making different choices. The transformation happens in stages, each boom pushing you further along the path from passive observer to active participant in your own life.

First comes the awakening—the moment you realize that time isn't just passing, it's passing through you. Each explosion forces you to acknowledge another moment gone, another opportunity either seized or lost. This awareness begins to seep into your decision-making process, creating a new sense of urgency that's not about panic, but about presence.

Then comes the shift in how you approach possibilities. When time becomes tangible, you stop treating ideas as distant dreams to be pursued "eventually." Instead, they become immediate candidates for action. Plans become actions because you understand that planning without execution is just another form of procrastination. Ideas become projects because you realize that an unrealized idea is just a ghost of what could have been. Intentions become commitments because you know that good intentions without action are worthless in the face of time's relentless march.

The most profound transformation happens in your relationship with "now." When each boom reminds you that time is finite, "someday" loses its power as a placeholder for dreams. The perfect moment reveals itself as the illusion it always was. You begin to understand that "now" isn't just a time—it's the only time you can actually use.

The most dangerous illusion in our modern world is the idea that there will always be more time—that we can wait for the perfect moment, the right conditions, the ideal circumstances. The artillery strips away this comfort. It makes time's passage unavoidable, undeniable, impossible to ignore. But more than that, it teaches you to use time rather than just watch it pass.

This new relationship with time manifests in practical changes:

You stop waiting for inspiration and start creating conditions for action

You reduce deliberation time not by rushing, but by making decisions with the understanding that perfect information is rarely available

You learn to distinguish between necessary preparation and unnecessary delay

You develop a bias toward action that's tempered by wisdom rather than paralyzed by fear

The shift from awareness to action isn't a single moment—it's a continuous process of aligning your behaviors with your understanding of time's value. Each boom becomes not just a reminder, but a call to action, a moment of decision, a chance to move from knowing to doing.

The Lesson of the Boom

What the artillery taught me wasn't about rushing. It was about removing the illusion that time is an infinite resource. Each explosion drove home the same lesson: Time will pass anyway. The only question is what you do with the time between the booms.

This understanding changes everything. When you truly internalize time's relentless forward motion, you stop waiting for permission. You stop looking for the perfect moment. You realize that the next boom is coming whether you're ready or not.

A Universal Timer

While most of us don't live near artillery ranges, we all have our own versions of these booms—deadlines, heartbeats, sunrise and sunset, the endless scroll of news and social media. The key is to find your own artillery clock, your own physical reminder of time's passage.

Because ultimately, that's what the artillery range teaches: Each moment that passes is gone forever, just like each round fired can never be unfired. The next boom is always coming. The only question is: What will you do before it arrives?

From Empty Nest to Inspired Living: Reimagining Your Home’s Next Chapter

As children grow up and move out, empty nesters often find themselves in a unique and transformative chapter of life. It’s a time to reflect on the memories made within the home while embracing the opportunity to reimagine its potential. For many parents, maintaining a space for their child to return to is essential, offering a comforting sense of generational security. This isn’t just about a spare bedroom; it’s about creating a sanctuary of familiarity and love where a child can reconnect with their roots during visits or times of need. This continuity of support helps break cycles of generational trauma, fostering a legacy of emotional stability and harmony that strengthens family bonds.

At Daoist Design, we recognize this pivotal moment as a profound opportunity for personal and spatial transformation. As part of our interior design programming, we take the time to deeply explore these aspects of our clients’ lifestyles and the untapped potential of their homes. Together, we delve into how a home can evolve to meet new needs while preserving its role as a source of comfort and connection. Whether that means reimagining a bedroom to reflect a child’s new stage of independence or creating a multipurpose space that adapts to family visits, we ensure every design decision aligns with the client’s values and vision.

This shift in household dynamics also opens the door for parents to reclaim space and explore long-delayed passions or interests. We work closely with our clients to understand what inspires them and how their home can support these pursuits. For some, this might mean creating a serene home library filled with cherished books and cozy seating. For others, it could be a bright and inspiring painting studio, a photography room for storytelling through images, or even a game room to foster fun and connection with friends and family. We also explore opportunities for hobbies like crafting, gardening, or music, designing spaces that invite creativity and joy back into everyday life.

At Daoist Design, we believe a home is more than just a place to live—it’s a reflection of your journey and aspirations. By addressing the practical needs of this new chapter and embracing its creative possibilities, we help our clients craft spaces that honor the past, nurture the present, and celebrate the future.

New Beginnings

Hey everyone!

As you know, TalkTimeWithTee is back, and I just want to start by wishing you all a very Happy New Year! There’s so much to look forward to in 2025, so stay tuned, stay connected, and keep reaching out because there are incredible things coming your way this year.

Today, I want to talk about New Beginnings and the beauty they bring. Even though TalkTimeWithTee has been here for a while, this is a new beginning—a fresh chapter and a new era. I truly believe that God has amazing plans for TalkTimeWithTee in 2025, and I want to encourage you that this is your year too.

The Bible says, “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it”(Habakkuk 2:2, NKJV). This verse reminds us to write down our dreams and goals, not just as a step of faith but as a way to stay focused and motivated.

I believe that many of you will step into the purpose and plans God has for you this year. If you’re reading this, know that you’re one of them. Take time to jot down your goals, pray over them, and trust God to lead you. Most importantly, believe in yourself—because you are capable and equipped to achieve great things.

Wishing you all the best start to the year. Happy New Year again!

Lots of love,

xoxo

Reflecting on this remarkable year, I marvel at the journey 2024 has taken. The advent of AI has reshaped our perspectives and opened doors to futurism that once seemed like dreams. Recent news on flying orbs, achieving AGI, Willow computing, and impending world conflicts may have brought us closer to loving the world we have always taken for granted. I hope 2024 encouraged us to explore the boundaries of what is possible, both in our work and aspirations. With the horizon of 2025 approaching, I feel a shift toward more meditative experiences and thoughtful choices. Life often reminds us that reaching meaningful destinations requires understanding ourselves first. It is not about pursuing every opportunity but choosing paths that align with a more profound sense of purpose. By focusing on what truly matters, we create the space to grow authentically and build a future we can be proud of. I am very excited about what lies ahead. I have always dreamt of a better place for everyone, where collective visions of progress, kindness, and ingenuity come together. As we move forward, may we remember that our passions hold the power to inspire and transform lives. By continuing with our dreams, we illuminate the way for others to follow. Let us celebrate Christmas with hope, courage, and a dedication to building something greater together. This is a time to celebrate passion, persistence, and the belief that helping others starts with forging ahead ourselves.
