Back in January I created a vision board for what I wanted to achieve this year. I placed the vision board on my wall in front of my desk. My vision focus words were to create, gain clarity, and be consistent toward what I wanted to achieve this year. Now that we are in the month of March I was thinking this is the right time to take self …

Follow my blog with Bloglovin This past week I found myself juggling multiple projects all due around the same time.

Why do we focus on goals at the end of the year? Every year the same question arises, “What are your New Years resolutions?” And I, like most people sit there and spout off several goals for the next year. I went into a few years making no new resolutions but instead created challenges for myself a few months prior to starting the new year. Many goals I set …

Week 12 of The Artist Way by Julia Cameron discusses recovering a sense of faith and in the sidebar it addresses the fact that creativity requires receptivity and profound trust which we learned throughout the work we did in this book.
