I’ll be 60 this year ( I feel 40 so this is still weird) with 4 grown human children and 4 beautiful in-law spouse children and 7 human grandkids (one of which is a goat grandchild) and given your (spacial and intimate) permission to journal when possible, instead of not journal everyday because that would (in my mind) make Julia and the Artist Way rubber stamp me an real artist; this is wondrous.
I await your continuing Mama Manna, and cherish you and your bravery and insight and especially your Creative Ecosystem
Love this! Freedom! I journal almost every morning, but then again I don’t have kids. And I don’t write because I have to, I write to get my thoughts to calm down and focus so I can get on with my day. :) I love The Artist’s Way. But I don’t follow it religiously. I don’t follow anything religiously, I’m too obnoxious. 😁
I love this so much. I too have felt that sting when I have been doing something consistently for ages and then I miss a day and it's like my world has crumbled. It is a horrible feeling. And then I usually go ages without doing it because I am all or nothing! But I love the idea of being intentionally inconsistent. Thank you, Sarah. 🖤
Yes! I've definitely found, for me, a don't break the chain approach does more harm than good. Embracing the squirrels and butterflies these days. 🐿️🦋💫
A wonderful read and so utterly relatable! It reminded me of when I lost my DuoLingo Spanish streak - 150 days in a row then the chain was broken and I haven’t logged back on since. Intentional inconsistency is such a great turn of phrase. And as an AuDHDer, I don’t think I really have any other choice. 😅
I identify so strongly with this!! I hate anything that emphasizes streaks. Like no, I don't have to do things everyday. On low spoon days, somethings just aren't important enough to make the cut.
Manna from the Ubiquitous T-Wheel you are.

Thank you so much Michelle! It means a lot I know that this resonates. ❤️
Haha 🐐- The photo of Davy!!!
It’s one of my absolute favorites! He had just started to move around on his own. I left the room for just a minute and came back to that. 😂

This exactly Lisa! We have to make things work for us. ❤️

Intentional inconsistency is the phrase I needed today as I veer into an all or nothing minefield (starting a newsletter). Thank you 😊

Don’t break the chain is the worst! 😂
Love this… I’m all for “practice”, and have never been a fan of rigid rules or structure.
PS… what a sweet picture of your little guy! 😍
