1. Day 23: The Golden Coffee Cup -- Family

Click here to learn more about the Golden Coffee Cup.

Yes, we are busy in so many ways. I tend to have a lot of family obligations at this time and it slows the flow of my work. I’ve learned this secret: It’s really all about chipping away a little at a time. You can do this!

Today’s we have two high fives from sisters: Catherine Gilbert Murdoch, author of a number of great books: Princess Ben and Dairy Queen, and her sister Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love.

Yep, a creative family can help you on your journey. These sisters have tossed down some wonderful literary stuff. How cool is that?

I hope that you have someone in your family that is just as on fire for creative pursuits as you. (I know not everyone has a natural creative family, your family is the people you love, group with, and grow with, not necessarily born to.) It’s nice to journey with folks like that. I hope you take some time today be thankful for your creative family. I know I am.

Come back tomorrow for more of the Golden Coffee Cup!

Today's quote is a blessing. I'm big on blessings. Words have power. Never doubt it. I thought I'd say a little traditional Irish blessing over us all for this day in the road.

May you always be blessed
with walls for the wind,
a roof for the rain,
a warm cup of tea by the fire,
laughter to cheer you,
those you love near you,
and all that your heart might desire
.
