The Artist's Way: Week Five

[kygirl]

I'm running a little behind schedule this week. After a five-hour flight and several hours on the road, we're safely ensconced in our hotel in California. And even though it's only 8 p.m., I'm about ready for bed. Forgive me, but I'll have to get the worksheets to you tomorrow.

Hi Donna,
I hope you're bearing up. don't worry about being behind, just take care of yourself x

The California weather is agreeing with me, Lumi. It's nice to get a reprieve from the cold and wet of Kentucky.

I've just sent out this week's worksheets. This is a very positive chapter that focuses on opening up to the possibilities of success and happiness.

After you read through the material, I'd be interested in seeing your list of five silly things you'd like to try once. Mine are:

Karaoke
Juggling
Trampoline Basketball
Hosting a costume party
Dancing in the rain
