An Open Heart Sunday ...


Recently, I have been writing so much more than I ever have. I have taken on a practice (as some of you know) of writing 750 Words A Day, Blogging, and doing morning pages (another writing practice by Julia Cameron). The more I write, the more creative I seem to feel.

This picture shows how I have been feeling lately. I feel like I have an open heart to new interests. I wrote poetry while I living at home with my folks in my teen years, but then I let it go for awhile, as I have mentioned before. I am still loving photography, but I feel this is another area I am quite interested in. How many interests do you have? Have you been wanting to try something new? What interests you?

  3. I'm so happy for you K!
    I also have more than one thing I like to do, as you know, and even though weaving is my first and biggest love, I also love paper crafts, sewing, a bit of painting (but I am so bad at it,LOL). There are so many things in this beautiful world for us to try, I wish I had more time to try more of them!

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
