It’s Only Words

Veronica Samoulides | June 22, 2010 | 1 Comments

Like Laura’s post from Monday, I too had to change my post after Sunday evening. I, too, have thought a lot about delight in the past 24 hours. I’ve had an abundance of gifts thrown my way the past week – many quite unexpected. I’ve grown enough to be aware of the gifts pretty close [...]

Risking My Art and My Trust

Lori Buff | June 9, 2010 | 3 Comments

After completing an “Artist’s Way” group with Laura I reached out to an old friend who was starting to try his hand at visual arts – he’s a poet and a writer.  We converse every week about our art in a mutually supportive way as suggested by Laura and Julia Cameron.  We had to have [...]

Here a Risk, There a Risk, Everywhere a Risk-Risk… Ee-i-ee-i-oh!

Laura Biering | May 20, 2010 | 1 Comments

Seriously.  I have been taking so many risks lately that my main risk muscle – my heart – should probably enter one of those muscle mass contests! So as I sit down to write my post today, I must remind myself that this is about a risk I am intending to take – one that [...]

In the Face of Odds Stacked Heavily Against Me and Almost Certain Failure, I Risk…

Suzanne Bird-Harris | April 17, 2010 | 7 Comments

Ok, you guys – this is a big one. At least for me, it is. Though those who’ve gone before me on this path, both those who were successful and those who failed, agree it was a big one for them, too. It’s had it’s hands around my neck since I was 23. I’m turning [...]

More on Truth

Veronica Samoulides | February 22, 2010 | 1 Comments

So friends, last month I talked about having the courage and taking the risk to HEAR the truth….it really resonated for me. This month, as usual, I voiced my intention to generate a topic and let it come…and, as usual, it did. This month, however, I did not make the time to put my thoughts [...]

You Gotta Know When To Hold ‘Em, When To Fold ‘Em

Kitty Karn | January 29, 2010 | 3 Comments

Oh my! Is it time to blog again? Where did the time go? What risks did I take? Here are a few: 1) I risked embarrassment by bearing my soul to some of my colleagues. 2) Instead of being my usual accommodating self, I risked being harshly assessed by telling three of my students they [...]

It’s My Birthday And I’ll Feel If I Want To…

Laura Biering | December 20, 2009 | 8 Comments

Why is it that, at occasions such as birthdays, weddings, holidays, etc., we think we must feel only one thing, and that’s “happy?”  (Or am I the only one that experiences this?) Here it is, only a little after noon on my 49th birthday, and I’ve already had a nearly unquantifiable number of feelings, many [...]

I did it! Now, what about today?

Laura Biering | June 25, 2009 | 2 Comments

I am happy to report that I took all of the risks yesterday that I promised you I’d take!  It feels really good to have done that, AND, I have moved forward on some important goals! Today, I am going to further hound my friend Alan – until I get him – about getting in [...]

062409 – What’ll be my risk for today? What’ll be yours?

Laura Biering | June 24, 2009 | 0 Comments

There are so many possibilities for risks I can take today.  Some of them probably don’t seem like risks to anyone but me.  Things like eating well and going to bed at a decent hour (and putting aside the computer and turning out the light) seem like no-brainers, but alas, for me, they are not.  [...]

Risking Living and Loving

Laura Biering | February 2, 2009 | 0 Comments

It’s Monday, and the first working day of a new month – a great day to get a new start on an old list (or a new one)!  And that’s just what I am doing.  There’s lots going on around here, both personally and professionally, and it’s all good.  It’s a lot, though.  And, did [...]
