Week Six : Recovering a Sense of Abundance
The Artist's Way Book Study
Dear Artists,
It’s week six! Our half way point! I look forward to seeing some of you this Sunday July 30 at 9am PST / 12pm EST at our Artist Way meet up. Think of it as a 12 step meeting style where we’ll share for 2-3 minutes our findings and have some time to write about what has been coming up for us! The zoom link to the meet up is at the bottom of this email. And if you haven’t joined us yet for the book study or went through the book before and are wanting to connect with other artists : we’d love to have you!
🌼 If you’re looking to carve our more writing time in your life this upcoming week join me for FLEXIBLE OFFICE : WRITER’S RETREAT live on zoom 8-10am EST Mon July 31- Fri Aug 4 - Ten total hours of writing, guidance, and togetherness!
This week we look again at our limitations, this time around money and creative abundance. We take some time to write about the god we believe in and the one we want to believe in. We start to build a version of a Great Creator that works for us and isn’t outlined by anyone else. “This is extravagant but so is God” - we rethink luxury and abundance and all things worth! It might be uncomfortable and you very well may disagree. This is good! See what there is to push back on.
I love thinking about luxury this week and how it can be as simple as a thrifted pair of pants that brings you into an archetype thats brings you closer to creativity. Picking a flower and putting it on your nightstand. I found myself clipping wild flowers from my yard to put into vases I hadn’t used. Authentic Luxury as Julia Cameron calls it.
Counting is such a beautiful way to keep track of how our money energy is leaking or where it needs more flexibility. You could use an app, a notebook, anything that helps you see clearly. So much of this book is about exactly that : moving from vagueness to clarity.
Money Madness Exercise : An opportunity to look at the stories we’ve inherited and are wanting to break through! I often find it helpful to see where I have named something I can’t get or can’t afford but see the other places my money is going that I actually don’t value as much. Lots of opportunities for gentle pivots.
