okay, i have to put my hands up and admit that this week FLEW by and before i knew it, we are checking in again! and yes, i come with a bag full of plentiful excuses for why i've done nothing! but first and foremost: wow, trying to do this in 7 days is TOUGH! and personally, i am going to have to take an extra week for my week 5 to catch up.
having said that, as you may have sensed from my last couple of posts i have been struggling of late. and, like some of you, various personal events have taken precedent over my journey... but i am back! and i am coming back with a renewed vigour!
i'll let you in on a secret. i have been so apathetic with TAW this last week, i didn't realise i had misplaced my book until i came to do the check in today! shocking i know. but ironically that was the turning point. initially i admit i did think, "it's a sign, i'm obviously not committed, even the book can't be bothered to show up anymore!" but then i realised: i want this. i don't want to give up. anything worthwhile requires a commitment. and i forgot that for awhile there.
thanks for sticking with me, and making this such a fabulous place to be held accountable: without judgement or criticism, but just understanding and support. each and every one of you who leaves a comment or posts on your own blog inspires me, and i look forward to completing this journey together.
in the meantime please share how you have found completing the last week in just 7 days, and any pearls of wisdom you feel might help carry our tribe forward into week 6! well done everyone, we're nearly at the half way mark!!

I've been inspired by the Barack Obama's message this week. He has a vision of where the country should be one, five, ten, twenty-five years from now. It got me thining do I know where I am going to be a month, a year, two years from now. The answer is no. This has motivated me to start mapping out where I am going instead of "lets drive around" and see where I end up? This method hasn't worked so far so I don't know why I keep thinking it's going to yield a different result.
What?! Week 5 is already over?! Where did the time go? Somehow I completely missed it and didn't even realise it... I won't be too hard on myself, it was easy to forget with my big move and all that, but still.. And now week 6 is already half over too! I have a lot of catching up to do...
I think the saying is...
'When you think need a hand, look at the end of your arm!'
I nearly came to post a 'please rescue me' post two days ago...the transition week four/week five has been all about huge resistance.
I have been caught between feeling unable to do anything, and taking on too much! My entire house is 2/3rds transformed with a massive clear-out, with me in the middle not quite sure if I'm evading, preparing or taking part whole heartedly! Each time I have gone back to the TAW book I have the strong sensation that what I am doing is on target and that I am keeping going.
This is the first week I've had no artist date...(and I do those all the time anyway!)
I hanging on in there with you guys...but also splitting off to the degree that I have full intention of continuing to take two weeks per week.
Big Kiss
P.S. I'm starting to feel a little excited and terrified about how much my life is changing.
