So, dear Interwebbing Net,

I am planning a little thing, which is turning into a big thing.
I've wanted to make some people I really care about try out The Artist's Way, and realized that these ladies may be more able to fit it in if I made some sort of offical-like group for it.

I have been writing like I remember being normal for a couple days now ( Read more... )

I think I'm settling down now; faced the music, am kind of at peace again, but with a more relaxed stride and less cluttered mind ( Read more... )

Along with The Artist's Way, I'm doing a physical detox. It's a weight-loss program from the essential oils company that involves a tea with nice oils and herbs, a fiber-heavy smoothie powder...and I've been using the therapy oils.

I don't know, but I think it's both assisting AND compounding the affects of this reprogram.

As I work through this, Women Who Run With Wolves has been on my mind. It's an exploration, rather than a workbook, but delving into the same territory.

So this week's squicky task for the creativity is a reading deprivation--no reading. Period, end quote.

This week she talks a lot about the shift of identity that can happen while doing this liberation of the creativity.

I am trying to face the fact that doing my yoga Sun Salutations to the gleeful strains of LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" may be actually

me-like.

I have a feeling other people have been aware of how idiosyncratic I am, when I was clueless ( Read more... )

On my new discipline...

I have started doing a creativity workshop kind of thing that requires writing three pages of stream-of-consciousness every morning. I am horrified by how whiny my conscious, streaming, is but I've been spending the rest of the day in a fairly good mood so...
