So The Artist's Way – how was that for you? 12 weeks (13 for some) of wailing in our morning pages, the best Artist's dates ever (what was your favourite? Mine was falling asleep with my dog in the sun by a river. I came over all Thomas Hardy, but luckily not D H Lawrence…or [...]

We're at the end of our Artist's Way journey together. How was it for you? Here is what Sue Nun has to say (www.careerinspiration.co.uk) Again, I resonated so strongly with so much of what Sue is saying here: The email from Suzy asking me to write the week 12 blog took me by complete surprise.

I love the line in week 12 – "You're either losing your mind – or gaining your soul." Once again going through the Artist's Date for a second time, I've been to what Julia Cameron calls 'the darkness' and back. I've seen my inner saboteurs at work, heard my inner critic scream so loudly I [...]

Huge apologies for this late posting. I have the greatest excuse though – was finishing my Big Peace book and pinged it off to Hay House on Monday. I spent day and night at the weekend writing and editing and even worked through the night on sunday and it occurred to me – as I [...]

And I too have been learning to get things done with the little and often approach. Teresa says: "In last week’s lesson on how to not procrastinate I learned that lots of things [...]
