18 JANUARY: THE COURAGE TO BEGIN

It's Tuesday, and we're continuing our month-long investigation of beginner's mind, the place of being at the start of a new practice. Whether you're just starting something, revisiting something, or continuing, courage is a theme that comes up -- one that is required when we face those inner "gremlins of perfectionism."  In today's #odetteloveletter, we're digging into how to craft a courageous practice, and why courage is important.  Your responses are a gift and they are much appreciated -- reply to your #odetteloveletter email to respond or tag your reflections over on instagram @OdettePress. Of course, visit the calendar to learn about classes and chances for creative practice all month long, find your next journal or card at www.odettepress.us, and revisit past love letters.
