Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book…
I work as an artist/writer everyday.
Every. Day.
I have chronic migraines, so some days, like today, my work day is very very short.
In What Her Body Thought, Susan Griffin describes working as a writer with severe chronic fatigue syndrome. She says that often, her work day goal was to read seven pages.

Rachelle,
Thanks for the email and you know, you’re doing much better than I am, someone who has been an art dabbler his whole life; you are creating, whether you feel good or not, I am being a slackerbum. I really love looking at all the pieces of art you create and I realize I need to get off my duff and make space for that in my life as well. Sending some healing vibes your way. Say, have you ever thought of taking up Shibashi? It’s a modified, simpler form of Qi Gong and Tai Chi combined, maybe doing Shibashi would help with some of your migraines? It’s very easy to learn and very gentle exercise. www.shibashi.com
Grace and peace, Ray
showing up is everything. yay!
