Finding the way - 1

Good intentions

Over the years there have been so many, too many moments, that I did not fulfill my dream to make writing and drawing the highlight of my days.

There is always something else that creeps in .. studying, the phone, emails, a cup of coffee with a great conversation-to-go .. you name it.

In fact I am not the only one with this problem and the biggest hurdle to do what I want to do is perfectionism.

Today I told myself that this frustration should end. I do not have to write or draw every day! One or two times a week is so much better than not at all.

Julia Cameron’s book The Artist’s Way is lying next to me and she indicates two pivotal tools in creative recovery: the morning pages and the artist date.

Studying the book and bringing forward the results will be my focal point in the next future.

Turning point

At the beginning of May I was in hospital, diagnosed with a pneumonia.

I was seriously ill and totally apathatic, not interested in whatever anymore. It took two days of tubes with fluid, oxygen and antibiotics to get me into the awareness, that I was surviving something very invasive that could have killed me.

Today I feel so much better. The lungs are totally clear and powerful!!

I have the feeling, that it is high time to listen to that inner voice that gently pushes me towards developing that side of my inner being more.

With love,

Juliet Joan
