My daughter left home about 8 years ago. I went through the empty nest syndrome very hard.
To some degree I still am. Only now I SEE that I must do something for me. In doing for another I was fulfilled. Now I find that the "me" that I have been avoiding for so many years is sitting by patiently waiting.
So I picked this book up a few years back....yes....I held onto it....not really realizing the importance of developing my "self". This is the year....I am ready. It took going through all I have been through in these past 8 years to finally look at me....ME....it is my turn.....
One of the very first tasks this project asks me to do is to incorporate time in my daily routine for myself. The project I will be starting is called Morning notes.....I think then it goes on to taking myself out on a date for 1 hour a week....but it is an art date.....and then there are the walks that slows me down and puts me back in nature....which I find to be the most inspiring of places for my work.
I will keep writing about it in here......
As Julia Cameron writes...
" The great creator loves artists and is waiting as a lover waits to respond to our love when we offer it."
Wish me luck folks......
