There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.

Wow. I knew I had this blog sitting on blogspot, but I had forgotten how much I wrote here. Somehow, I remembered it as just a few off-the-cuff entries that I didn't amount to anything -- and that I did it, twice a day, for quite awhile, less than a year ago makes me question my memory.

I sat down and read all the entries. Seeing where my head was a year ago and how I could have gotten so far away from that progress in such a short time. By the time we decided to come to Kansas (only three months after my last entry here), I had forgotten most of what was here. Finding it again, after starting my artist recovery process is enlightening.

I made a breakthrough this morning: I found the ogre hiding at the castle entrance -- the one that tells ideas and inspirations that they aren't allowed to flow, that they have to return from whence they came. And that opened flow in my mind. Thoughts about writing and regret and Self blame and limitS. I realized that I have cut mysElf off from my creative passion about writing and that I need to let that loose in my life again. So, I typed up some affirmations and put them in interesting fonts and different colors. I'm going to cut them out & decorate them and put them around the house: bathroom, bedroom, art room, office...to remind mysElf why I exist.

I want to recover the sense of purpose and learning that I had last year when I did my 'four goals' as part of daily discipline. Since I am working The Artist's Way, I'm not sure I have time for the same goals. Even last year when I wasn't, I didn't have the time and was considering changing the goals. So I'm going to spend some time today figuring out the new goals and how best to use "Daily Discipline" to open the flow of creativity in words.
