This is from our lovely guest blogger Mika Simmons (http://www.mikasimmons.com/) I read her entry and promptly burst into tears. I resonated so much (not with the acting) but with everything else. Here's to you, Mika! And to all of us on this journey. WE ARE A BRAVE, WONDERFUL TRIBE AND HERE'S TO MAKING THAT PHONECALL, [...]

Week 4 The Artist’s Way

22. February 2009

0 Comments

I read week 4's chapter and thought – 'I can't wait'. Bring it on – tantrums, decluttering, spiritual chiropractice, oh yes, it's all happening in week 4. Officially, we are recovering a sense of integrity. I definitely feel things are happening if I can't quite articulate what….. I'm having a few dramatic swings – from [...]

But what do I find myself doing on my artist's date?….Hunting round antique and junk stores for vintage quilts and lace pillow cases…. Last week I bought two duck and goose pillows for my bed….now a beautiful vintage quilt is mine! While [...]

Meltdown Isn’t An Option: From guest blogger Gina Langton

16. February 2009

4 Comments

Guest Blogger Gina Langton says: Week 3 is a massive chapter – I think it’s really the pivotal point at where AW’s purpose becomes clear.  It says to me, if you want to unblock then start really nailing those internal culprits – those dreadful stealers of creativity.   To be honest, not only am I feeling angry, but frustrated and bereft [...]

I know this is really, really cheesy but I loved it. And re. the Artist's Way, it made me think.  Imagine if we had an inner validator like this guy…..imagine what would happen to our blurts? So, if you're not put off by the whole cheesiness of this video, try some internal validation today. "Gee, do [...]

Guest blogger Emma Bibby from www.assistantguru.co.uk says:   "I am so glad that I committed to doing the Artist's Way this time around.  It helps knowing that so many others are there with me, working through it also, albeit in our own personal ways.  I was skeptical, as I have a tendency to take on too much, and was worried I'd give [...]

Are you finding your morning pages a chore?

Caite posted today that she is finding the pages a chore, that she's not getting anything great or deep or profound from them and it's making her feel vaguely martyrlike…. Is anyone else finding this? The morning pages are one of Julia Cameron's key tools. And she might say that you are resistant, Caite. I found [...]

We made it through week 1. I found myself go through a lot of resistance in week 1. I only managed to do the morning pages 4/7. Too busy, said my inner pessimist. 'Stop messing about with this creativity crap, get back to the real work.' So he was quite loud and proud in my [...]
