Transitions: Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life

I was riding a train from Washington DC to Chicago, when I read an email from Neale Donald Walsh that said that I needed to buy a special book right away that day. That this book would totally transform my life. I went through the books on my Kindle App and went straight to my favorite author Julia Cameron. As I sifted through the options, Julia Cameron's book on Transitions spoke to me because it was a book about changes. So, I purchased it and began reading it on my cell phone while the train sped by through the night. I found Julia's words comforting and very healing. i am grateful when certain passages spoke to exactly where I was in my life. I actually have read the book cover to cover twice. When someone I loved was going through a crisis, I decided to send Julia Cameron's Transitions book to him to help him as he was facing so many rapid changes as a gift for Christmas. Now someone who is special to me can also connect with Julia Cameron's profound wisdom. Thank you Julia Cameron and Neale Donald Walsh.

Each of us is in transition. This is a beautiful book that helps us respond tenderly to the transitions of life, no matter our age.

Trabajando todos los días. Julia Cameron es excelente

If your heart needs some (tlc) tender loving care this is the book you need. Get it right away and begin to read it slow. A page or two each day or so is just enough. Absorbing the thoughtful love here is the best medicine. Reading it slowly will allow the power of the thoughts to soak into you like a long, long intense hug. This little book is written with all the understanding of a person inspired by Godly love. When you have finally finished it, give yourself some time. Then begin again. You will always need this kind of maintenance.

*****This book contains short prayers/meditations related to being an artist, writer, or really, creator of any type, done in a style reminiscent of Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way". If you are a fan of Cameron, the guru of creativity for artists and writers, you will certainly enjoy this. Each page has a quotation at the top, and then the author writes a meditative paragraph that is related to the quotation. She always ends with an affirmation, "Today...."---something that you can take with you into your day. The book has a topical index in the back too. Lovely book, highly recommended.*****

I have an entire library of Julia Cameron's work, but I hesitated to add "Transitions" to it, wondering what else she could possibly say in a series of short inspirations to guide me as a writer. I shouldn't have hesitated. Julia's gift is that she helps us to understand the significance of the creative process in our lives and to cherish its ups and downs. This is a book to be savored in small, measured doses as a tonic to rev up our imaginations and soothe our souls.

I love the whole body of work that Julia Cameron has done to support and encourage Creatives. I keep this one close at hand and read from it on days when I need a quick boost or I don't have time for something more extensive and time-consuming. A single small page at a time, with a couple of notable quotes and a short, affirming prayer. Just the thing when you are on the fly and you want to stay on course as you are going...

Julia Cameron is one of a rare few who possess the gift of intuitive sensitivity, with which she communicates fluently and resourcefully those words a bereaved person desperately needs. Julia's Transitions is a perfect vehicle to provide that kind of comfort and inspiration. Moreover, it is a beautifully designed book of handy dimensions. I really do not know how it could be improved upon for the purpose.

Although not a new copy not as pristine as expected with many heavy markings and multiple notes making it hard to follow in places.

Amazing insights, beautifully written. Was given this as a gift after my daughter died and found great consolation in it

First impressions are that I am impressed
