Thank you Graham for today’s live, I truly appreciate these meetings with the community. Week 10 of The Artist’s Way has been a very eye-opening week for me. It made me reflect deeply on parts of myself that I hadn’t fully acknowledged before. One of the biggest realizations was discovering how much I struggle with workaholism. The workaholism quiz really opened my eyes and made me pause and think about how often I allow work to take priority over creativity, rest, and simple joy.

I realized that many times I use work as an excuse not to slow down, create, or make space for fun and playfulness. While I’m grateful for the work, I do and the chance to help others, this week reminded me that creativity and self-care are important too. I’m learning that it’s okay to step away from responsibilities sometimes and allow myself to simply enjoy life, create freely, and nurture my own spirit.

This week felt less about perfection and more about awareness, and for that, I’m truly grateful. I can't believe that we only have two weeks left until this creative journey is over!🙏

You do so much to help others, I do hope you spend more time on yourself.

Truthfully, I did not get too involved with this Chapter. I was on a high from the breakthrough I made with Chapter 9. I was so busy getting started on my Scrapbook. After 6 years, I was finally able to find my passion.

Week 10 was very meaningful for me, just like the previous weeks. The morning pages have helped me understand my emotions more clearly, and I also experienced an interesting synchronicity during one of the exercises.

Unfortunately, I had to leave yesterday’s meeting early because I was at my daughter’s house and had to travel home at that exact time. The internet connection in the rural area doesn’t work very well.

Thank you again, Graham, for guiding us through this journey!

really appreciate the recording. I had to leave a 6pm so got to watch the after breakout room sharing this morning. Our whole group sharing and breakout room conversations are truly the icing on the cake! thank you Graham for all you do to make this a special experience. And thank you for acknowledging my clapping. I'm on a smartphone so harder to use comments to react and encourage ... and I find it helps me to stay more focused on what people are sharing … practicing active listening…👏

Chapter 10 was an awakening for me as I had to stretch my thoughts to find meaning or application for me, more so than some of the other chapter. I found it to be a culmination or summation of what I have gained so far on this journey. I saw the power of action, to continue to learn, grow and embrace the whimsical awe of life. I saw me standing looking at a dream, standing close but not fully committed or believing in it. A review of my morning pages found raw, uncensored exposure of my inner world and helped me reconnect with things I love and be open and aware of memories and experiences of the past that brought me joy. As this adventure nears the end I feel the energy growing, fear fading and creativity untethered. Thank you, Graham, for your insight in taking us on this journey. Continued blessings.

This was a great book very thorough and I can see why you do one chapter per week because each chapter is so thorough and it takes a lot to digest as a reader. I’m enjoying this book.
