@Krys Oh wow, Krys, those are gorgeous! I also love your discovery that Artist Dates don’t have to be long, involved, or preplanned, but can just be an impromptu decision to stop and immerse yourself in the small beauties you encounter. I know I can overthink things to the point of inertia and never get around to fitting a two-hour solo… Read more

That sounds like a fun Artist’s Date! I love going to Ben Franklin, which is our version of Hobby Lobby (which we don’t have on the Island–and no Michael’s either).

Hi @Isabelle

There is no rule about the morning pages except not to read them until you’re some distance into the class (which she mentions in the book when we get to that point) and if I recall correctly, that’s only if you want to. I don’t see any point in reading them afterward, especially since I jot down any important thoughts, ideas,…

@Susan Cash it really would help you, I know!

But even if you can’t find an aerial class near you, regular yoga is great. There’s a lot to be said for doing what you can, where you are, with what you have.

I hadn’t even heard of aerial yoga until a few months ago. I only know about it because my down-the-street neighbor’s daughter co-owns a studio in Hilo (about a half-hour drive from our house).

The Artist's Way: Artist's Dates

I’m good at doing the morning pages. It’s a task I can make myself do because it feels like important work. I’ve been doing them (badly) for years, and even though I butcher the process in many ways, I am very aware of how beneficial they are. The brain-drain clears my mind, and while the list-making habit I’ve added to the pages often…

I’ve been doing morning pages consistently for years, but as I wrote in a reply to @Krys I’m pretty bad at it. I get distracted, so it takes longer than it should, and sometimes I just take stabs at it during the day until I’ve filled two or three pages. But honestly, it has mostly evolved into a long rambling moan about my never-ending…
