This episode is about week 6 of 12 in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. 

My artist date this week was a long walk where I found a house with a community bulletin board and inspirational sayings. 

This chapter talks about how creativity and abundance are connected, not mutually exclusive. You can be an artist AND be abundant! The more time we have for play and creative pursuits, the more freedom we feel and abundance follows. 

Abundance comes in the form of time, space, love and joy as well as finances. Play is an important part of this journey. When we follow what lights us up, we will attract abundance into our lives. Start small with authentic luxuries like fresh fruit, ordering groceries and getting the softer toilet paper to feel abundant. Say yes to anything that is offered to you and practice receiving!

Start keeping track of the money you spend and observe without judgement. Start with this to start examining your beliefs and habits around money.

The exercises that I talked about for Week 6 are:

• Natural Abundance: Pick up 5 interesting rocks
• Image File: collect 5 flowers or leaves and consider pressing them
• Clearing: Find a worn out piece of clothing to get rid of
• Creation: Bake or cook something from scratch
• Clearing: Make some changes in your space
• Acceptance: Notice any changes to the flow of your life and start saying yes
• Prosperity: Any financial changes? Perspective shifts? Add to your image file if here is anything you'd spend your new abundance on.

At any point in the remaining weeks, reach out if you would like to talk about your experience with this series on the podcast. I would LOVE to hear how it is impacting your life. You can remain anonymous or share what you’ve been working on - whichever you prefer :)
