I’m wrapping up the last two chapters of my book club's selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. I decided that these two chapter topics, Love Your Ups and Downs and Love Letting Go, were great to combine, and so this will be my final post about this book.

Love Your Idle Time

The minute I started reading Chapter 5 of my book club's selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion, I started thinking about cats.

I finished the first chapter of my book club's newest selection, A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. Diving into this beautiful book full of creative activities is so much fun.

Creativity is infinite; creative time is finite.

I have been on a real creative bender lately with my digital designing. I’ve had so many ideas that it has been hard for me to keep up with my brain!

It’s reminded me that while there is no end to creativity, there are limits on creative time and energy.
