Go Fly a Kite.
You know that feeling . . . when a song gets stuck in your head in a perpetual loop? I don’t even recall where I would have heard this song recently, but there it was . . . straight from Mary Poppins! Oh, oh, oh! Let’s go fly a K.I.T.E. Up to the highest height […]

No Drama Llamas.
January 2019 will be the 15th Anniversary of Davis Creative. I’d love to be able to say it has all been “smooth sailing,” but as with any growing business, we’ve celebrated our “ups” and learned from our “downs”! Looking back over the last decade-and-a-half, I’ve learned 3 key strategies for thriving . . . ALIGN your […]
When was the last time you did something for the very first time?
The grand-bubs stopped by for a few hours last week while Mom ran some errands. Ages 6.5 and 4 years, they are still not too sure about our super-wiggly, hyper-active new puppy who wants to lick their faces and jump all over them. Having a 4-month-old puppy around is a new experience for them. They […]
Isle Do-It-Later
Complacency becomes the fog that obscures our hopes and dreams and convinces us that it is much easier to just DO-IT-LATER. As we settle into our complacency, we run the risk of convincing ourselves that all is well, yet bemoan others as we watch them sail on by. Much was the story of Meryl. Her […]
HOPE as the American Way
It was a much simpler time, in 1939. In this photo, my mother was 16 and on her way to the annual “Cherokee Strip Land Run” celebration in her home town of Ponca City, Oklahoma. Much like today’s county fairs, there would have been a carnival atmosphere with games, events and DANCES! If there was […]
Logos, Taglines, and Books, Oh My!
Almost 15 years. A lot has changed in our world of branding, designing and publishing since we started Davis Creative. We’ve made a lot of pivots, and we still LOVE what we do, Years ago, way before I started working for myself, I heard Les Brown on PBS talking about the “pivot” as he shared the […]

Thank you for your recent referrals! Because of you, we are able to help more small business owners grow their businesses! A long-time client recently commented . . . “People are amazed when we tell them we are self-published. The books you design for us look like they have been produced by a traditional publisher!” We invest 100% […]
I guess I’m full of it.
So, I got a great compliment today . . . “I’m in awe of how FULL-OF-LIFE your newsletters are! I always look forward to getting them in my inbox”. ___________________________________________________ And it got me to thinking . . . what else am I FULL of? ThankFULL to be living at this time on this planet. As […]
What Happened to Compassion?
Mother Earth is pissed off, and has a need to blow off a little (or a lot of) steam. I’m a big believer in the correlation between “earth energy” and “people energy”. You know, that macro- vs. micro-level theory. When the negative energy in humans reaches a boiling point, at some level it affects the […]
