The Artist’s Way Week #5
April 6th, 2008
This week, I will be doing a media fast. This week is spring break for us, I celebrate my 34th birthday and I hope to finish cleaning up the garage. I say hope because I hope it will happen, but I don’t really want to do anything about it. hmmmm, we will see how that goes. This is a time to slow down, listen to what is bubbling in me, pray, create.
The point is, to not be pushing away what is going on with you with outside stimulation. I’ve done media fasts before off and on over the years and they always prove to be fruitful. So, no emails, no blogs, no reading just waiting and listening.
So, here I go, I am shutting the computer off and hope to see you next Sunday night with all the new things God has brought up in me.
Peace to you and all you love!

Happy Birthday Amber! I’m a reader from Ohio in similar life circumstances — homeschooling my five children, wife of an engineer, learning to “be the church” (or whatever we want to call it), and turning 34 this week! I’ve enjoyed reading about the Peru trip and your homeschooling ideas. Thanks for sharing your life and have a great week.

I’m a bit nervous now. I’m not to Week 5 yet in the Artist’s Way, but now I know a media fast is coming.
Hope your week is lovely and your birthday was well celebrated.

Well, Heather welcome. It is a small world isn’t it? We have tons of friends in Ohio. Know of Vineyard Central or connected with that crew? Happy Birthday as well.
Vicki - Thanks for the Birthday wishes and a media fast is hard but good.
Amanda - Don’t be nervous, just keep digging in. It is hard but good. Yes, my birthday was well celebrated. I think I gained 3 pounds this week, so I need to get back to eating normally and not so birthday like:-)
Peace to you three!
