Blessings to both of you.. Although the steps of “artistic recovery” look simple, for those of us doing them, they are not. It’s like telling an alcoholic, “Well, why don’t you just NOT drink?” Sounds so simple, but it certainly is not.

Same for us. So having these epiphany moments of realization, that go all the way down to your core are big, big healing. And as you see, we get to many of them by sheer faith and perseverance, even while our inner critic is ridiculing us every step of the way.

So, good, good, good on you both for this! It’s a really big deal, and I am so grateful you shared.

Beth I just wanted to thank you so much for all of you efforts in the artist recovery this last year. I am finally starting to feel an improvment in how I feel about my writing.
I had a moment today when I was working on a micromovment and I started to worry about what I would do when I finished the part I was working on and then I realized I shouldn’t worry about the next part till I finished the part I was on. it worked, I got back to my current part and finished it rather then wondering about some part in the future.
thank you.

Beth, thank you for your wise words. I have been looking at my latest writing rejection (ouch!) as a sign that maybe I’ve been chasing the wrong dream for most of my life.
And then you post your wonderful views and I will once more face my fears of more rejections and try, try again.

Have a lovely, fall-tacular weekend ~*~
