After our meeting this morning I finished reading chapter 2 of The Artist’s Way. Wow, I remember reading this back in 2022 and how deeply it impacted my sense of identity. The part where she talks about “crazymakers” really reminded me of my ex husband, and when she wrote about how we CHOOSE to have the crazymaker in our life as an act of self sabotage it was like a finger pointing right at me. I am interested to do the Life Pie activity again and compare it to 2022. I hope that I have more balance now. I also really love the end of the chapter where she talks about learning to be present in the moment because of the letters from her grandmother. It reminds me that even when life is very difficult, we have simple beauty around us every day, if we just take time to acknowledge it.

Attention is an act of attachment. 💜

Catching up…. I was waiting for an Amazon delivery of new Angel cards and they are so fun as they have a little stand. I also loved that it’s a word and has an affirmation. So fun. 😇 Discipline 🔮 Between worlds 🤓 my creativity thrives in the chaos of real life Takeaways?
