doras tales

I like, I just like...
imagine writing 3 pages of what you like... I did that this morning,  I call it my morning pages (probably cause I write them in the morning!) writing in the morning is an exercise in creative flow.  This morning I started out writing about what "I like" and it ended up being 3 pages of it.  What a sensational exercise to write down all the things you like - to do - to be - experiences, etc, etc.  Sensational exercise!

I've been reading The Artist's Date by Julia Cameron.  It's a course in discovering and recovering your creative self
In one of the exercises Julia suggests sending 5 postcards to 5 people, people you would love to hear from.
It got me thinking, in this time of instant gratification, what with Facebook, Twitter, Emails, Texts, we've lost the habit of putting pen to paper.  As much as I loved the experience of writing to my mates, knowing that they were in for a big surprise getting something in the mail that wasn't a bill but some heartfelt words of friendship, I was humbled and overwhelmed by their reaction and gratitude -a  totally humbling experience.  Reciprocity at its best.  Go on, give it a try and see the reaction you get.
