We are finally here! 🥹 The final week of my Artist's Way journey. Join me in the summery countryside as I reflect on 12 weeks of creative recovery. I'm sharing my final thoughts on "recovering a sense of faith," my verdict on the Morning Pages, and how I'm scrapbooking my "manifesting journal" [06:40] for the future. My one takeaway? You must read this book.

It’s NotesOnDawn, and this week's Artist's Way challenge was the one I dreaded most: a total media purge. No TV, no social media... and no books. As a book lover, I was terrified [02:16]. But my biggest struggle wasn't what I expected. It was "horrible... thinking about just having to eat dinner and like do nothing" [07:17]. This is the story of my "iPad kid" [08:26] confession and the surprising spiritual breakthrough I found in the silence [10:25].

Hello, it's NotesOnDawn! This post is a personal look at Weeks 2-3 of my Artist's Way journey. I thought I was just building habits, but my Morning Pages revealed a huge, unexpected blockade [07:54] I have against manifesting my creative goals (like getting a publisher!) [08:43]. I’m sharing how I'm using Artist Dates to pottery classes [05:00] and aquariums [10:00] to learn how to 'receive' again.
