What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us. How do we get to this place? It begins with getting […]
A flicker of interest
I write longhand. My hand seems to lead my thoughts. I could go faster by computer, but faster is not better. Writing by hand gives me depth. Writing by computer merely gives me speed. Just outside my writing room windows, a Northern Flicker lands on a bird feeder. A checkerboard bird with a red bib…it […]
I Voice the Universe in an Original Way
I bring to life a unique and powerful voice. My insights and perceptions are important blessings. Voicing my insights and perceptions is important to the world. I am an irreplaceable individual whose gifts benefit all. Owning my gifts, inhabiting and expanding them are my gifts to the world and those with whom I share it. […]

When I allow writing to become a more fluid process, I feel less that I am charged with self-consciously guarding it, and instead challenge […]
“Too Much” Creativity?
I often have students who ask how to cope with “too much” creativity. Often, when we begin a creative recovery, the “backlog” of creative energy and ideas can feel overwhelming as we unblock the channel and experience the intense rushing in of the creative dreams that have been waiting for us. When a student tells […]
The Basic Principles of the Artist’s Way
Perhaps you’re a longtime student of the Artist’s Way, or perhaps you are taking your first step in the path to higher creativity. With any pursuit, fundamentals are key. So is steady, supportive guidance. As you embark on your spiritual exploration for the first time, or once again, return always to the basic principles of […]
