Begin Your Own Creative Journey
We interrupt the 10 Marital Martial Arts with this idea for those of you who know you have something creative and wonderful that feels like it’s bursting inside you but you don’t know how to get it out…
This past Saturday I attended ‘Festifall’ in Lakewood, WI and had a book display which brought wonderful people to my booth where I was featuring ‘Death by Roses’. There’s a marvelous Shoppe in Lakewood known as ‘Little Shoppe on the Hill’ and if I could get you all there, you would feel the exciting thrill of a very unique place on earth. I have developed a life-changing connection with owner Linda Stearns and her staff. Oh la la!
My booth was very near the Shoppe which was bustling with traffic. That meant lots of visitors to my booth (including many readers of ‘Death by Roses’ who are asking when ‘Death by Violets’ will be ready!).
One woman who came to my booth was bursting with the desire to write but she didn’t know how to start. This is not uncommon. I told her one of the secrets that had gotten me on a crystal clear track and I want to share it with you. It’s a book. It’s called ‘The Artist’s Way’ by Julia Cameron.
Cameron first published the book in 2002 and had great impact on getting me going on my creative journey. This book is for any creative desire, not just for writers.
Cameron believes we are all artists in some way. Her book lays out very clear instructions for getting from, “Rubbish! I’m not artistic in any way” to “WOW! I now have a clear direction for my creative self.” It’s pretty amazing if you follow the instructions in her book.
I told this young woman to get her book and to do the exercises. It is how I found my voice and my courage to write. Once I tapped into this creative self, I couldn’t stop and I’m still going strong. So, for all of you who are screaming inside because you know there’s something in there and you can’t quite get it out, this is the book for you.
Life is meant to encourage us on our creative journeys; to help us see what gifts live within us that are not only for us, but for the world. Get the book! Enjoy the journey!

P.S. If you live or travel in northern Wisconsin and you have not yet visited ‘The Little Shoppe on the Hill’, get going! The store is loaded with the most inspiring clothing, home décor, antiques and so much more. Fall is beautiful and coming soon to Lakewood!
