This week I talk about preparing for the creating calm challenge which will be starting on Tuesday the 2nd November, and running for four days through to Friday 5th  November. If you want to join in , the group will stay open until the end of November- join here.

The challenge will show that you can create calm in just 10 minutes a day to make a difference in your daily life. And it got me thinking about how I started doing my creative journey. I reflect on one of the early books that I picked up that inspired me to start thinking about creativity - ‘The Artist's Way’ by Julia Cameron. This was first published in 1992 So it's almost 30 years old now, and if you aren't familiar with the book. Julia is comparing creativity to a spiritual experience. It's basically saying that we are the creators of our destiny, we are the creators of our lives.

So, it's our task to create the best life we can!  I talk about daily pages, artists' dates and a whole lot more around the impact that this book had on my own creative journey, and how we can apply these concepts to bring more creativity, ease and joy into our lives.
