Diving In
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="386" caption="Diving In"][/caption] When I was in primary school two things happened that I am remembering today... Actually I'm not sure about the first one because I might even have been in nursery still...

Finding Water
Today I will begin Week 3 of Finding Water. Just yesterday I was feeling that I wasn't really getting anywhere. I've been doing my Morning Pages every single day and I had even walked once each week, but the only thing close to an Artist Date was going out to watch the Lunar Eclipse - and I'm not sure it counted because I wasn't alone. Yesterday I was feeling that I was going through the motions and barely scratching the surface, that it wasn't enough to feel good about sticking to the ... read more
