It’s taking me two weeks to properly get through each chapter – even 3 sometimes but it means I’m doing more of the exercises and thinking things through properly instead of doing each week poorly.

Week 7 took me two weeks, yet I feel I’ve really done well with it. I did exercises 1,2,5,7 and 10. A thoroughly good selection. I loved the collage particularly and have it up in pride of place in my sewing room. I’m looking forward to showing it to Richard this evening.

I’m still loving the morning pages. Love, love, love them. This week again I was a little vague about my artists date. It was either my cycle to Mile End, or Highgate. Possibly both. Both were fabulous and energising, empowering and so much fun. They’re helping to put my strong woman clearly in focus.

Money has been a constant issue this week. So learning about my own strength is wonderful. I feel very alive as I begin this new week.
