Week 7: Recovering a Sense of Connection

"We turn this week to the practice of right attitudes for creativity. The emphasis is on your receptive as well as active skills. The essays, exercises, and tasks aim at excavating areas of genuine creative interest as you connect with your personal dreams." ~ Julia Cameron

What if you were to treat yourself like you are precious? I used to call my niece 'treasure'. She looked at me one day and said, "Auntie Kareen, you know how you call me treasure?' I replied, 'yes'. She said, 'you can keep doing that.'

I had so much fun creating paper dolls this week as an artist's date. It's been years since I cut out paper dolls, and a reminder of how simple things can be so delightful. No wonder we had so much fun as kids doing simple crafts.
