pickNothing short of life changing. This book is for everyone who wants to live more authentically into their own dreams and values, not just for those who consider themselves creative or artistic. I will read this again and again.
pickI really enjoyed this book despite it being nonfiction. I found that many of the things Rubin said were things I agreed with. Creativity is inside of everyone and if you think differently I recommend this book! 😄
so-soI did The Artist's Way 30 years ago (!) & have revisited a couple of times since. This book is a coda to that, not an alternative. Unlike TAW, I didn't follow the chapters as a weekly course: I don't think there was sufficient material to merit doing so.
Her dismissive attitude towards mental illness rubbed me up the wrong way. Creativity helps but is NOT a standalone cure! (Let's not get into how creative pursuits can lead to deep dark places.)
pickA good introduction to lateral thinking although few times we may have used it even without thinking specifically about it

1. My husband still has his job. He's a fed and every day when he comes home we say "live to fight another day"
2. A mockingbird came by me and was singing
3. Link helped me at my desk ?
4. Celebrated my husband's birthday

Trying to get caught up on books from my mountainous TBR and huge pile of magazines.
