A Week of Wise Words: Jan 15th to Jan 22nd A Year of Simple Abundance

Hence today, when I should be talking all Week Three of The Artist’s Way, I’m sharing my Friday post, and the quotation pictures that I created for Simple … Continue reading A Week of Wise Words: Jan 15th to Jan 22nd A Year of Simple Abundance

The Artist’s Way: Week One, Recovering A Sense of Safety

Be honest, do you feel able to call yourself an Artist? Have you ever been brave enough to stand up and announce that you have created something and it is good? I struggle to do this, I really do. Even after four and a half years writing a blog and (hopefully) not repeating myself too often, of writing, proofing and publishing six… seven? books that … Continue reading The Artist’s Way: Week One, Recovering A Sense of Safety
