So my book arrived but I missed posting Secret 1

I received my book and I am looking forward to starting it this weekend. The week has been so busy that I did not get to start it Thursday when the book arrived. I missed posting for Secret #1 but I am going to read 1 and 2 and then post for the #2 secret. I know the First Secret is titled "acknowledging your creative self". That is a hard one for me as I sometimes I feel like taking time for creative projects is self indulgent, like there are more important things that need to be done. Now I know that thinking is wrong and is more fear based than anything. I think being creative in any way, work, home, art projects, motherhood, whatever can only be a good thing. I think it will be the key to my coming back to myself and finding my center, and in doing this I will be able to better love and care for myself and in turn others in my life. What is that expression? "be the change you want to see in the world" It starts within and than spreads without.

Patiently (NOT) waiting for my book to arrive

So - I am patiently waiting for my "Creative Secrets" to arrive so I can join in on the book blogging. I am trying not to read many other's blogs so not to spoil it for me, but I am sneaking some peeks here and there, because I am SO NOT Patiently waiting, even with 2 day air delivery it seems to be taking forever. Once I get it in my mind to do/read/begin anything I want to start ASAP it is the follow through I have problems with. I start with all guns blazing and then fizzle slowly but surely. I am building my stamina year by year. So hopefully by tomorrow the book will be here and I can start up. wish me luck.

To Blog or Not to Blog

I have never blogged before but I love reading others blogs so I thought I would give it a try.
I wanted to participate in the 12 Secrets of highly creative women so I had to set up a blog.We shall see how it goes.
I have to wait for the book to come in before I can start blogging and posting about it. The book is titled "12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women".
I can use all the help I can get when it comes to jump starting my creativity, I know there is a frusterated artist within my soul screaming to get out, so I have decided to listen to the artist within and give it all the help I can.
