Taking Care of Ourselves
The Artist's Way.......you can't go wrong!While I'm waiting to compile all of the breathtaking photos from Africa, I want to share this book with you....I went through this book and program 10 or so years ago, when I was in a completely different part of my life....I grabbed this book before I left for Africa and devoured it again while I was there. It is a 9 week program for enhancing creativity....but, the program actually changes your life.....there were so many things that I found in this book that helped me get over the enormous hump that was in my road (that really seemed like Mt. Everest).....and, I invited all of my travel mates in Africa to do this program along with me......so, if you want to join us....please go out and get this book, or order it from bn.com.....and, we'll be starting it in a few weeks............you seriously CAN NOT go wrong....it helps you to become who you really are....to live your potential...to dream again.....to embrace all of the ideas and thoughts that come to you, and enhance the ability to have dreams and ideas and everything good......I am so thankful that I just 'happened' to grab it off of my bookshelf before I left......you just never know where or how God's messages will be sent.......
I hope you are taking care of yourself....it is so important.
Being in Africa and getting sleep and forgetting the complexities of my everyday life and hanging out with a bunch of glowing big-hearted artists made me remember who I am.....made me remember that I really need to nurture myself and my creativity........made me remember the capacity of each of our souls.......I feel great and I am so thankful for the time that I had to reflect and remember and regroup and revive........
Take care of yourself, Ok? Nobody else is going to do it.......get some exercise and drink lots of water and try to avoid sugar.......and get your sleep......and dream big dreams and remember who you are....and take care of her.
I love you guys......
