Facebook Strangers You Know Community Page - Please join the discussion online!

Today we are talking about The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

I would love to hear how you manage your inner critic, how you step away from your crazy life and what you do to find peace, and live in the moment.

We've had several conversations this week with several of my listeners about what they would like to hear in the show and what would interest them. There is a Strangers You Know Community on Facebook. It is a private group, but it is open to everyone. So if you're interested, join and we will add to the list. In that community. We have conversations with past guests. We talk about ideas and concepts that came up in interviews. And I encourage my listeners to share their thoughts. 

So please join the conversation there and let us know what you want to hear, what you liked, and interact as many of my former guests usually jump into the conversation. We're talking about adding a live event as one of these off-episodes. Where you can call in and ask me questions or you can call in and ask and talk to a guest where we'll have updates from past guests on what's been going on since their interview or how they felt about that conversation. 

 I'm trying to grow this into a community where we can all get to know one another. Because, while we do spend a considerable amount of time in conversations with these strangers every week. I want that idea of the stranger to include each of you. And I would love to hear what you say and your comments and thoughts. And I would be very grateful if you could share those on the Facebook community with others and start the conversation there.

Okay. So it's just me today and I’m trying something a little different.

About ten months ago, I went to lunch with a friend and she recommended a book that has made a big difference in helping me sort things out on my journey. The book is The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. 

It’s designed to help individuals discover their creativity and silence their inner critic. 

I've always had a very loud inner critic. And for most of my life, I've not only allowed my inner critic to sit in the front, but I've actually allowed it to commandeer the driver's seat for almost everything. 

I am constantly on the go. I constantly have things to do. I'm always worried about the next thing. Tasks, and check-lists. What’’s accepted, expected. What’s allowed.

Not focusing at all on. The moment. On me. I'm just being.
