Sunshine and warm greetings to you this morning.

Today we start Week Seven in THE ARTIST’S WAY.

However, first the check in:  1) Morning pages? Check? 2) Artist Date? Check? 3) Inspirational Reading? Check?

Also…re-reading the basics and the artist’s prayer once a week through next Sunday (those who came to the workshop know what’s this about; for those who didn’t attend, check out the other half of Week Six in THE ARTIST’S WAY.).

This week is focused on recovering a sense of connection.  We turn this week to the practice of right attitudes for creativity. The emphasis is on your receptive as well as active skills. The essays, exercises, and tasks aim at excavating areas of gtenuine creative interest as you connect with your personal dreams.

We’re going to focus on listening. On letting go of perfectionism. On taking risks.

Once we are willing to accept that anything worth doing might even be worth doing badly, our options widen.

Take a sheet of paper and answer this question:  IF I DIDN’T HAVE TO DO IT PERFECTLY, I WOULD TRY:

List at least 20 things.

Have you done it? Go do it. We’ll wait.

Now go try one of those 20 things.

“But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.” ~ Lord Byron
