how apt it is that my first posting here in what feels like an age is all about recovering a sense of connection! it is definitely something i have missed over the last few weeks and i have been feeling my body and mind crave the constant inspiration shared between us here.
wow. can you believe we are over the half way mark now too? what an achievement. i think we can all greet 2009 with a real sense of pride. and i am already excited about the possibilities that will unfold for all of us in the weeks and months to come! can i just say how blessed i feel to be doing this with you!
okay, enough gushing, on with the week in hand...for me, the line: "if we are trying to think something up, we are straining to reach for something that's just beyond our grasp..." leapt of the page at me. that is me! always wishing, wanting, trying... now i am about to learn about doing.
and yes that means dealing with the age old enemy: perfectionism. was it just me, or does julia have the ability to read minds! but i love how she turns the idea on it's head: "perfectionism is not a quest for the best. it is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again" now i am about to learn about being.
i am ready. i feel like we are on the home straight now, when rewards and synchronicity will become more apparent, spurring us onto the finish line.
how about you? we're still in this together?

Yes. I agree. She has incredible insight and must have supernatural powers! This week is hitting many nerves with me as well. I am connecting dots all over the map and am ready to see the picture take shape!
I'm falling a bit behind as ever...but with you all the same!
Re-connection will be a good thing for me right now as I've stepped back and let go of a lot...I feel like I'm halfway through a three point turn, just reversing back into the right spot to speed away in a new direction.
I hope you're still getting a buzz and being as generous with your selves as you need.
Big Kiss to everyone.
absolutely we're still in it together. It's been just as rewarding to cheer and support others as it has to cheer for myself. It's odd that I'll cheer for a bunch of millionaire athletes that I've never met running around with a football on a field but I won't cheer for myself...well we're going to change that aren't we...
I've been a bit quiet lately - a lot of travel, and then some sickness. So....tasks have been a bit patchy and I haven't updated my blog in ages. BUT absolutely still with you all. I have some new energy from somewhere and am letting go of any negative thoughts about tasks not done, and focussing on what I have done.
My collage beckons me right now! Hope everyone's doing well this week.
How awesome! Reconnecting is always wonderful! I am so happy you are unfolding into the process of being in doing!
I am not doing the Artists Way at present (I have the book) but I will be cheering you on! :)
Definitely reconnecting going on in my life too, both with other people and myself. And synchronicities keep popping up everywhere. I love the feeling the universe is cheering me on :)
I'm so looking forward to the end of my deadlines so that I can focus on this properly for a while! I haven't been able to do morning pages every day like I want to, or do all the tasks.
And perfectionism is something I really have to work on, if I can dare to let myself do something in a less than perfect way, then I can improve and have fun rather than just wishing I had the skills needed and doing nothing.
