As soon as I hit publish on yesterday’s post, I was flooded with regret. Why did I declare it? What was I thinking? Publishing a post a day for a whole year?? I mean, I’ve thought of doing it for years. Of making the same commitment. But it’s so much. And my previous attempts at…
This week’s work is on recovering a sense of connection. It’s not only our connection to those around us and the environment. It’s our connection to everything. Cameron tells us that our Morning Pages and Artist Dates are teaching us to listen. The Morning Pages encourage us to listen past our internal censor. It’s a…
I’m still taking much longer than a week to complete the weekly exercises. But keep moving forward, right? I find that I continue to build momentum even though it’s slow. This week’s focus is on recovering a sense of Possibility. Cameron wants you to lean into your relationship with the Creator. Or the Universe. Or…
I’ve been limping along working on my Artistic Recovery. It seems to take me a month to finish these “week” long sessions. That’s my fault, though. Not the program’s. I am very happy with the work that’s coming out of following The Artist’s Way. I wish I was better at following through with it. The…
I’m writing this a few months after the fact. But like the “week” before, it took me more than seven days to finish my exercises from week three of The Artist’s Way. Part of me was tempted to start over and try to do the work in a week but I decided to keep moving…
Every time I build up some sort of momentum, I have a bad habit of squandering it. That’s right. Just call me Sisyphus. He’s the guy that was cursed to roll a large boulder up a hill every morning. Only to see it roll back down to where he started by the end of the…
My second “week” of The Artist’s Way took longer than a week… Just like the first “week”. It’s not that it took so long to do the exercises. It took me a while to do the check-in. Not this blog post, but the check-in exercise that’s part of the program. I’m not sure why. I…
My first week of going through The Artist’s Way was relatively easy. Although it took me about fourteen days to finish the “week.” It’s not that it took so long to go through the activities. It was the Check-In at the end of the week that took so long. I kept putting it off. I…
Wow. Thirty Days passed faster than I thought they would. Yesterday was my thirtieth day of shipping. I can relax. And you won’t overwhelmed with too much content. It’s funny. When the year began, I hoped to write a post a week. In fact, I wanted to write 58 posts in my 58th year. But…
I missed celebrating an anniversary last October. No, it wasn’t my wedding anniversary. I remembered that. Last October marked the tenth year that I have been blogging. Wow. I’ve blogged in fits and starts over the years. And the subjects of my posts have ranged all over the place. There was my “year of living…
