Julia Cameron
We tend to think being hard on ourselves will make us strong. But it is cherishing ourselves that gives us strength
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
All change can be expansive in potential. The choice is ours.
Julia Cameron
Just as blood is a fact of your physical body and nothing you invented, creativity is a fact of your spiritual body and nothing you must invent.
Julia Cameron
