Week 8 homework

Hi all,
Because of the holiday, we had a smaller than usual group. You were missed! I thought I would post this week's assignments for your convenience. If I have missed anything, someone else please pipe in.

• Read chapter 8 and complete the tasks
• Make an autobiographical totem relating to your creativity. Julia emphasized this is NOT an art project!

Two books were recommended:

Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain

Your Heart's Desire by Sonia Choquette

Hello AWers!
Julia mentioned two authors today, Shakti Gawain and Sonia Choquette. When I got home there was an announcement on my facebook about a podcast with Sonia. Don't you love that synchronicity?!

I thought you might be interested in listening to this interview with Sonia:

My your week be filled with creativity and synchronicity!
Good thoughts,
Lisa

Popcorn Pages

Hello my fellow Artist Way-ers!

Thought I would share with you a creative idea for all that popcorn we get from each other in class. In my morning pages journal, I've decided to take the popcorn I get in class and paste them throughout my journal in the empty pages I haven't written on yet. I find many times as I come across these encouraging notes from all of you that it's just the affirmation I needed for that day. For example, last Sunday I got a beautiful list of my attributes from Lisa...so I took my scissors out and cut each word into a strip of paper then scattered them throughout the empty pages ahead. Imagine doing your morning writing then turning the page and finding the word "empathetic", or "gentle & brave" from someone who has insight into what you've shared. It's really a wonderful, fun and inspiring tool that I hope you will practise! Plus, it reminds me that my morning pages are a vital part of my Artist's Way...

Peace,
Danny

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks, Lisa, for setting up this blog.
I send all of you blessings for a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'll miss class this coming Sunday as I'll be in Sedona doing lots of artist dates!

Dream Prayer

Ohh Dreams…show me the path of my heart

Let the grace of this day and tomorrow never part

Let gratitude be the faith that I need

Grace be the light

That.  I plead.

The Universe knows what tomorrow holds

May my faith be the strength that molds.

Fear lives not here

Only love brings the dreams

Only love brings the dreams that are near.

Prayer to the God I Like

Dear God,

Give me the wisdom to know that I am a channel,
that no one else is my judge other than you,
that nothing is my source except for you.
Give me the courage to be humble,
the strength to be fearless.
Let me be at peace when it is time to rest,
knowing that there will be another day
when I can do your work.
And when I am doing your work,
let it flow, let it flow, let it flow.
