With a few unexpected free hours on their hands, rather than let the day go to waste, they wandered the city, and somewhere in that wandering, a practice was born. They turned their unplanned afternoon into an experiment: notice one thing, write it down, then draw it. Eight years later, \"Today I Noticed\" has grown into a book, an Instagram community, and a workshop practice embraced by teams across industries, from tech companies to hospitals to remote workforces scattered across continents. Older and Huber describe how this deceptively simple ritual builds resilience, deepens empathy, and dissolves the perfectionism that keeps so many people from creative expression. They share how the practice carried them through pandemic isolation, why it works even for self-described \"non-artists,\" and how a single sentence and quick sketch can transform a passing moment, a stranger's hat, a wilting flower, an unsent wedding invitation, into a lasting point of connection and gratitude. \u003ci\u003e(hosted by Justine Willis Toms)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003eBio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003eWillow Older is an award-winning writer who runs her own editorial services business.
