As I sit here recording this, I have just returned from a month-long creative sabbatical.&nbsp;I never believed something like this could&nbsp;be possible for someone like me until something happened earlier in this year that&nbsp;inspired me to really test that assumption and eventually prove me wildly wrong.&nbsp;I'm coming back with some experiences, some awakenings, some reality checks, and learnings that I wanted to share with you today. </p><p><br></p><p>Today we're going to dive into just what happened, what I learned, and how you might consider creating your own version of an extended, deeply generative, regenerating, renewing and awakening leave.
