so-soAccording to Julia Cameron, I'm not the only one resistant to Artist's Dates. Hoping for inspiration (or at least more direction), I checked this book out on Libby. It's a quick read, and it did give me more ideas. More interestingly, it helped me see that I already routinely do things that I never considered Artist's Dates, like getting a massage or going to a park or baking a treat. So, yay me, I guess?
#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
Yesterday‘s haiku was inspired by my night in my stark little room at the dojo. It was a cool (not cold, it‘s Hawaii) blustery night with the rain hitting against the window invoking a cozy, comforting feeling.
Rain pounds the window
Drops shine, diamonds in the night
Cozy in my room

I‘ve mostly been coloring and it‘s almost midnight but tomorrow‘s another day.
so-soEh, it was OK.
Mostly positive mindset stuff, and none of it in any particular depth. It's like a big plate of aperitifs to pick and choose from, but with nothing substantial enough to really get your teeth into.
Also, I don't care what her woke credentials are, blithely asking (rhetorically, I presume) "Can you afford NOT to do therapy?" is financially obtuse at best and, arguably, ableist.
Two valuable things I took away from it ?
Spending this #HyggeHour making my Week 1 plan for my Artist‘s Way journey. Back-to-school vibes have got me to recommitting to the course. I started it last year, but didn‘t get through it. I have a better sense of what to expect now, and gave my perfectionist side a stern talking-to, so I‘m ready to jump in and play!
