The Artist's Way - Julia Cameron
The Artist's Way
Find your own inspiration
Julia Cameron
What is creativity? How can you find your creativity again?
This book helps to get rid of blockages which are in the way of our creative abilities. You can do exercises, in the exercises you learn how to overcome & improve your anxiety, guilt and jealousy. It will be hope, integrity and power.
How to go about this? Start with early morning: Morning Pages. Take time to fill in 3 pages and write on a blank paper, with a blank mind and let it all out.
Feed your inner artist, feed it, go and make artist dates with yourself. Take time to get inspired, any way is good (at least that is how I remember it): go visit that exhibit, go take that walk, make that date and give attention to yourself.
Just get the book and enjoy it!

Must Read: I, Rigoberta Menchú
Must Read: I, Rigoberta Menchú
Rigoberta Menchú is een Guatemalteekse mensenrechtenactiviste. Ze is als Maya actief als voorvechtster voor de rechten van inheemse Guatemalteekse groepen.
- In de regio waar Menchú geboren werd en in haar jeugd leefde, Quiché, leven vooral indianen, die grotendeels hun eigen cultuur en gebruiken hebben behouden.
- De familie van Menchú bestond uit arme boeren; een aantal maanden per jaar werd de familie gedwongen om naar de kust te trekken om daar suikerriet te kappen.
- Menchú en haar familie waren actief in verschillende oppositiebewegingen. De familie gaf aandacht aan burgerrechten en vrouwenrechten, in Guatemala controversiële onderwerpen. Haar vader, moeder en broer werden door de autoriteiten vermoord.
- In 1982 vluchtte Rigoberta Menchú het land uit naar Mexico, en daarna naar Frankrijk. In beide landen legde ze de basis voor haar autobiografie, Yo, Rigoberta Menchú.
- In haar biografie vertelt ze over de gruwelijkheden uit de Guatemalteekse burgeroorlog en brengt ze de genocide onder internationale aandacht. Daarnaast vertelt ze over de tradities, waarden en respect van de Indianen voor de aarde, mensen, familiebanden en vriendschappen versus de (brute) onderdrukking door een kleine groep machthebbers.
- Menchú won in 1990 de UNESCO-prijs voor Vredeseducatie en in 1992 ontving ze, als jongste persoon ooit, de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede.
- In 1999 verscheen er een nieuw boek over Rigoberta. Hierin werd aangetoond dat ze verschillende gebeurtenissen feitelijk niet meegemaakt of waargenomen kon hebben en dat diverse feiten uit haar autobiografie niet klopten. Desondanks vonden de verschrikkelijke gebeurtenissen die in het boek aan bod kwamen wél plaats.
- Hoewel Menchú beschadigd raakte door de kritiek op haar biografie, is ze altijd blijven strijden voor gelijke mensenrechten en meer autonomie voor vrouwen.
Wil je je verdiepen in de achtergronden van Guatemala en de positie van de Maya-indianen, dan is Yo, Rigoberta Menchú een lezenswaardig boek.
Books around the world: The Salth Path
Books around the world: The Salth Path
The Salth Path by Raynor Winn
I have read this book all at once. It is beautifully written. It is a story of a couple, who after a long time with courtcases, loose their house and their income. Their house was a bed and breakfast. They have been putting all their love and energy in their home, for years and years. So they are devastated and decide to go walk the Salth Path. They dont want to stay at their friends places. They want the freedom, Moth is sick and Ray isnt the most flexible young person anymore. They have the plan to walk more than 1.000 kilometers. With hardly any money, and just some basics, they start their journey, not knowing where it will lead them. It was a beautiful story to me, since you read how the couple goes back to the basics in life. With lost dreams and insecurities and start to work towards healing themselves.

Frequently Read Books - Books to Re-Read and Re-Read Again and Again
Some books are there for life. You won't sell them ever! Some books are there to read whenever you're looking for inspiration, perspective, assurance.
A few months ago I decided to join as a member of the public library, so these days I am enjoying reading (Dutch) fiction! To me novels are to be read once. Or maybe twice. But so many other books are there to revisit again and again.
Here I would like to share some of my Frequently Re-Read Books
Some are more for a general public I guess
- Victor E. Frankl - Man's Search for Meaning
- Stephen R. Covey - The 7 habits of highly effective people
- Thich Nath Hanh - Mindfulness
- Khalil Gibran - The Prophet
- Nelson Mandela - Long Walk to Freedom
- Mahatma Gandhi - The Story of My experiments with Truth (Autobiography)
- Krishnamurti - Bevrijd van het bekende
And some are more specific buddhist inspired
- Dhammapada
- Stephen Levine - A gradual awakening
- Jack Kornfield - The Wise Heart
- Shunryu Suzuki - Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
Of some of the books above I have written a specific blog with excersices or a super short summary. You can look them up in the Magazine!
What are your Frequently Read Books? Looking forward to your inspiration via
PS. did you find my cat enjoying books as well :-) they offer not only interesting ideas, but also a great hiding place!
