So we are starting on what promises to be a special adventure. It’s a 12 week intense course designed to get rid of writer’s block/artist block and build creativity. It’s called The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity, by Julia Cameron, I’m just at the beginning of week one but so far I am keeping up with the assignments.

This week is all about Blurts and Affirmations. Affirmations are exactly what you would expect, and blurts are the arguments that pop into your mind to counter the affirmations. We are doing mental time travels back to discover where the blurts are coming from – the source of the problems, and then uprooting them from the core. Surprisingly, we have had more people who have encouraged us (people in our hall of fame) than ones who have planted blurts into our brain. We are writing about those experiences, too.
