My book of choice for this Sunday is Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. I preordered this book on Amazon and was happy to have it show up on my doorstep the day it was released. I'm almost finished with it and I have to say I am in love with this book!!!! Anybody who struggles with wanting to live a more creative life definitely should read this book. As someone who loves to write I struggle with not being good enough and I think why would anyone ever want to ready anything I wrote anyway? After reading this book, I don't really care! As long as I am doing something I enjoy, I don't really care if anyone reads it. I am just writing for myself and if anyone else reads and enjoys what I wrote, well that's a good thing. It may inspire me to write and actually publish more blog posts, but I won't stop if no one ever reads anything I write. I know I will most likely never make a living at writing, so who cares. Bottom line is, if you have a fear of creating something whether it is a blog post, a painting, a symphony, or a wreath to hang on your front door for whatever reason, you can overcome those fears and just do it.
This book is my new favorite thing. I will no longer let the fear of what other people think deter me from doing what I love to do.
Thank you Elizabeth Gilbert for giving me permission to create, even if it is just for me
