Last month I had myself a good old fashioned melt down and wound up in front of a doctor. Turns out that pushing all my complex emotions down into a dark seething pit of angst and resentment is not exactly the healthiest way of dealing with anxiety. Go figure.

Through some act of synchronicity I found a copy of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron at a used bookstore. It has been extremely helpful in giving me something to work through while I sort myself out.

While I haven’t been craft blogging or even crafting that much, I have been writing and drawing and giving myself some time each day to collect my creative flow.

The delicious side effect of this is that my son has suddenly shown an interest in writing and has started keeping his own journal. I have actually had to tell him (the boy who would not write) to go eat his breakfast before handing him his notebook. I’m unspeakably proud of him for taking up writing on his own (and not just because I’ve held his gameboy hostage until his schoolwork is finished.)
