I was talking this morning about Julia Cameron's best-selling book The Artist's Way. Essentially, it's about creative recovery but often it's a great book for life recovery too.
Just a thought. Would anyone like to do the 12 week course with me via this blog?
There is a weekly chapter with exercises to follow but that might be a wonderful way to start 2009? Perhaps we could start the introduction chapter week commencing 26th January so we're ready to start the 12 week course in February?
I think I may have just got a book deal with Hay House for The Big Peace! Just waiting for contracts to be signed. How exciting is that! Especially wonderful for me as Louise Hay, the founder of Hay House and author of You Can Heal Your Life as been one of my inspirations for so long. And Hay House publish so many of my favourite authors - from Dr David Hamilton to Michael Neill.
So if I'm going to be writing away for the next few months, I may need some creative inspiration so The Artist's Way is just the ticket.If you want to join me, sign up here.
Ugh. Filling the well is HARD. I struggle with that -- often. More often than I care to admit. There's something about finishing a project (of any sort) that is intensely draining on creativity, and I've never figured out what fills the well back up.
I do know what doesn't fill the well better than what actually does, but I've noticed that leaving home, even for a day, and putting myself in new surroundings, seems to help. I look at new things. I people-watch. I don't talk, don't write. perhaps I take pics, but I observe and think and let my brain fill up with new things.
It's actually why I quilt, too -- because it's so different from programming and web work. It lets me feel productive while letting the programming and logic side of my brain rest.

We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes. Do you agree?

If you want to enhance your security system, adding motion alarm systems will address that.

Christmas is probably the most special day of the year for children. One thing that makes it special is the popular tradition of Santa Claus.

The personal loans seem to be essential for guys, which are willing to organize their own company. By the way, that's comfortable to get a bank loan.
