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!🙏
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!
Great workshop this week. Thank you, Graham. I have learned so much about myself and am getting my creativity muscles going again. This has truly been a blessing!
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.
Thank you, Graham, for facilitating this study. Thank you everyone for taking this journey of self-reflection together. I wish you joyful success in your creative pursuits. God Bless!
Graham, I’m in your home town. Vancouver in the spring is pretty amazing especially in Port Coal where walking and bike trails are lined with beautiful flowers and parks. I spent part of my childhood in a coastal town. This port with its many boats, ships, barges and sea planes made me remember long hours at the ocean in my teenage years discussing the promised future and the existential thoughts one has at that age.
I’m glad to have the opportunity to get to know you a bit and all the wonderful participants in “The Artist’s Way.” Like you, I also read “Man’s Search For Meaning” by Viktor Frankl. I had a class in college studying his book. It changed my life.
Stay the course writing your script. The insights you’re gaining in life as a new father are invaluable and are sure to provide new perspectives to explore in your writing.
I look forward to viewing the week 12 session when I am able. I will encourage people who are closely matched to your life experience to tune into your podcast. You are great with us “mature” fans. I thank you for being so kind to us. (Women of a certain age tend to become invisible by younger adults.)
Those who are experiencing life as new parents, intelligent, motivated and exploring will be impacted by your wisdom. So I will direct people in that demographic to your sight.
I've been very engaged in this week's reading. I've read Chapter 11 twice. I returned to our Week 4's Honest Changes (one of Week 11's tasks) and feel each word in that section deserves a bold underline!
There is a bit sadness in my soul as our journey together is close to it's end. I want to be certain to learn all I can from this book and our fellowship together.
I'm so grateful to each of you for sharing this journey with me. Blessings!
I have done the Artists Way by myself because of all the granddaughters sports and graduation. So I would really like to go back, because I hurried to catch up, and explore more. But I wanted to tell you Graham that after your poem on Thursday…my creativity has blossomed once again. I have written 4 amazing poems …working on the 5th and started working on several unfinished crafts! I think I may even have gained some confidence. Yeah! Thank you for doing this! 🥰❤️🙏
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.

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