Creativity

Elizabeth Gilbert was featured on a recent TED Radio Hour. I first listened to it on a beautiful fall afternoon as I was out Nordic walking on the Greenway. I was streaming it and soon lost the signal.

I have now downloaded the podcast and listened several times. You can listen here.

The whole show is great, but I particularly relate to Ms. Gilbert's approach as I am working through my life and writing this blog. "I show up for my part of the job."

I'm writing every day. Somedays it is good work, most days it isn't.  I will just accept that fear is along for the ride. My fear won't be given the chance to overrule what I want to do.

And that goes for walking and eating oatmeal and knitting. I show up every day, well almost every day.
