Denise Jacobs

Silence the Voice of Self Doubt“Banish Your Inner Critic provides knowledge, insight, tools and practice for getting unstuck and expressing full creative potential." ―Rebecca Stockley, Co-Founder of BATS Improv in San Francisco CA
 
Are you ready to boost your personal productivity—minus the fear and loathing? Are you ready to Banish Your Inner Critic and unleash the creative ideas and personal productivity within you? Help is on the way!
 
Blocked creative ideas. Everybody has one, an inner critic that tells you that others have more talent, you’re just faking it, and that you’ll never have those great creative ideas that seem just out of reach. This inner critic is a subconscious deterrent that stands between the seeds of great creative ideas and the fruits of achievement. It afflicts us with a mental block as deadlines approach, makes us so afraid of being judged that we hold ourselves back and don’t share our expertise, forces us to question our ability to learn ideas and technologies quickly; and makes us doubt, discount, and kill our ideas before they see the light of day.
 
Find a world of creative ideas. Denise Jacobs is a speaker, author and creativity evangelist who speaks at web conferences and consults with tech companies worldwide. As the Founder and Chief Creativity Evangelist of "The Creative Dose", she teaches techniques to make the creative process more fluid, how to make work environments more conducive to personal productivity, and practices for sparking innovation. Now, in Banish Your Inner Critic, Denise Jacobs shows you how to defeat barriers that are holding you back and achieve success through a positive mental attitude.

The Herb and Spice Garden -...

Gertrude Harris

Herbs and spices have been an integral part of human culture for centuries, shaping our food, health, and even our daily rituals. From the rich, aromatic notes of basil in Italian cuisine to the vibrant warmth of cumin in Middle Eastern dishes, these tiny powerhouses of flavor elevate the ordinary to extraordinary. Beyond taste, herbs and spices also carry centuries of tradition, medicinal uses, and cultural significance. Whether grown in your backyard, balcony, or kitchen windowsill, the act of cultivating these plants provides a deeper connection to the food we prepare and the flavors we savor.
Why Grow Your Own?
While many of us enjoy the convenience of pre-packaged herbs and spices from the grocery store, there is something incredibly special about growing your own. Freshly picked herbs from your garden are unparalleled in both flavor and aroma. The difference between store-bought dried basil and freshly cut basil is striking; it’s not just about taste but also the vibrant green color, the essential oils, and the sheer joy of picking your own ingredients. Growing your own herbs and spices allows you to create a garden that’s uniquely yours, tailored to your tastes, and adapted to your climate. Additionally, when you grow your own, you have access to herbs and spices at their peak potency, without the added preservatives or packaging of store-bought varieties.
The Basics of Growing: A Beginner’s Guide
Starting a herb and spice garden is simpler than it may seem. Even if you have no prior gardening experience, herbs like basil, rosemary, and mint are relatively easy to grow and require minimal attention. Many of these plants thrive in a variety of conditions, making them perfect for beginner gardeners. Whether you’re planting in the ground or using containers, herbs are incredibly adaptable and can be grown in almost any space—from large backyards to small apartment balconies.
