I’m often asked, “What’s your five year plan?”  I don’t know.  I am so busy, I don’t have time to dream, I only have time to execute.

Last month, I facilitated a one hour journal writing workshop for some of my friends (artists and non-artists) as a break from the busy holidays.  So, together, my friends and I carved out this hour and started to dream.

The experience of writing in silence surprised many of them.  They walked away feeling focused and refreshed.  One of them said it was so nice to have a few moments where no one asked anything of her.  We decided to meet once a month  and I’d like to open up this free class to my faraway friends.

This experience is about panning for our inner gold, sorting, exploring, asking, wishing, wondering, wandering, changing, creating, cultivating, learning, discovering, being.

This experience is not about making to do lists, planning, doing, right answers, expectations, fixing for others, standards, metrics, performance, supposed tos, shoulds.

I will post a prompt once a month (the first one is on Wednesday at noon, Pacific time) and invite you to set a timer and write for 40 minutes or at least three pages.  Or write until you feel like giving up, then go for another 20 minutes.  (Excellent advice from the writer Ron Carlson.)
