So I’ve been working out lately. Up until now the idea of working out only ever crossed my mind while thinking of things I hate about it. But now I’ve found a routine that (gasp) I actually like! And I like the way my body is changing and I like my new found energy and endorphins. Embracing exercise has also had an unexpected effect. Up until I ( Read more... )

I’m not looking back, because I know that everything I’ve ever done has been leading up to this moment. I’m not focusing on the future, because there won’t be anything there tomorrow if I don’t do it today. I am going to finish this book if it’s the last thing I do this year. It’s going very well and I will string together 140,000 words that ( Read more... )

Today is the first time I’ve ever been effected by an online add.  Tahiti 80 has a new album coming out, just in time for Christmas (hint hint).

If so, check this one out.  I love his astrolo-gories.  I’m in week 10 of TAW and it is a week of confronting blocks… and this is my horoscope:

I urge you to do something …to purge the lingering vibes of people and things that you know are no good for you, Aries. Remember, though, that this has nothing to do with perpetrating revenge or harm. It ( Read more... )

Now that I have a connection I will post

Today has been very crazy.  The last time I did the artist’s way I got caught during week 9 and was turned around by the thought of creative u-turns.  During that time I did the blasting thru blocks exercise, as I did most of the tasks back then, in nothing more than a compulsorily manor.  I now think that my resistance had a lot to do with the ( Read more... )

I had a spooky artist date this week. I spent a couple of hours making my Halloween costume while watching interviews with horror film directors. I had a lot of preconceived ideas about what it was going to take to alter the dress and sequined top I purchased (I was going for a Pat Benatar look). I thought it was going to require a lot of cutting ( Read more... )

Week 8 of the Artist’s way is offering me some unexpected insight. In the essay about using age and time as excuses for not pursuing dreams hit me hard and good. I have been thinking myself into the dunce’s corner over the past year of my life. No matter the growth I see, I continually come back to the thought that if I had just figured this out ( Read more... )

I kind of think it’s funny (funny weird, not funny ha ha) that the first exercise has us looking at why we are the way we are when the essay preceding it urges us to look past why things are the way they are and on to what we can do about our future.  I’m thinking this now, after I’ve done the exercise.  So I guess what I can do is look at what I ( Read more... )
