Leaping in Leap Year 2012!

By stephanie-levy on February 24, 2012

Are you ready to leap in 2012? I love that 2012 is Leap Year because it reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Julia Cameron’s book The Artist’s Way: “Leap and the net will appear.” Sometimes we must take blind leaps of faith for our creative work. If we don’t believe in our [...]

By dannielle-cresp on February 15, 2012
