I love this newsletter so much. I have the Artists Way too. Have read it almost cover to cover but not undertaken any of the course, bar a short spurt of of Morning Pages. But I know it’s there ready for me whenever. Interesting book — not entirely sure it’s aged well (👀) but it’s certainly a thought provoking thing!

This week I’ve been in awe at Glennon Doyle’s podcast, We Can Do Hard Things. Particularly the episode around boundaries. Off the back off this I’ve also been in awe at myself for doing hard things — which is something I think we should be in awe of, about ourselves, every day.

Thank you for sharing! Love the new format.

Ah so lovely to hear and thanks for your feedback Tay! Yes the book is dated in several ways but I guess the instinct of trying to find art still seems to resonate. Thank you for the recommendation - boundaries is definitely something I've been on a learning journey of as is the idea of being in awe of our own selves, will have listen!

You are a gem. Thank you so much for this lovely post, and for the shoutout! I was pleasantly surprised, and humbled. As for awe—I've been focused on a new life in our family, and have definitely been awed by that. Re: The Artist's Way—even if it doesn't work for everyone, I feel like it's a staple, on every artist/writer's shelf. I wasn't into every aspect of what she wrote, but did enjoy journaling the way she advised, for a while. ❤️

I am finding myself picking around the book to see what suits, leaving the rest. Journaling seems to have been the one to stick. Thank YOU for being generous with your art <3
