“The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people’s expectations”

Sounds like a great play.

I just heard about this book, "The Artist's Way," a week ago. How synchronous. The play sounds marvelously funny.
Excellent quote!! Yes, the expectations of others can be a strangle hold on our self.
Ronda, The Artist's Way book has been around for a long time. I read it not long after it came out. That's funny you were told about it. That seems to be the way blogging goes...many on the same wave length at the same time. LOL
That did sound like it would be funny. :-)
Mark,
Thanks. It's a great quote because it is so true, huh? :-)
I was lucky enough to see Julia back in the 90's in chicago. A friend of mine and I did morning pages for years together after that...I think she STILL does them! And she has become a writer! So Julia's work is indeed life changing!
