service to those who are challenged in writing their stories. And I stop to pay attention to all of the blessings in my life; relishing the day-to-day laundry, groceries, cooking, cleaning and various errands (all of which can wait while I’m cuddling my grandbaby!). Celebrating the world of words by writing in my journal as well as supporting my clients in their pursuit of leaving a legacy with their words.
Do you have plans and dreams of your own? Don’t wait to speak up shine your light.
Yes, I realize it’s scary to ask you to be vulnerable and let the world see you as your authentic self.
I have a suggestion if you are willing to try a little experiment. You could start to be the star in your own life by recording your experiences on the page. Be inspired by the wisdom of your own life challenges and how you coped with them. Have a conversation within the pages of your journal just as you would with a trusted friend and confidant. Start by sitting down with a fast-writing pen and your journal for a short writing session. Write for about 15 minutes. You may start with the words “what does my heart want me to know right now?” or ponder some nagging thoughts that are pleading for attention. Make it an on-going experiment for about 21-days at the same time every day. Write down the date and time at the top of your page to ground yourself and let your subconscious know that those messages it has been keeping safe for you may now be shared with your conscious self. I like to play soft instrumental music when I write,
perhaps light a candle and have a cup of tea or flavored coffee. Be open and curious to see what messages show up. And be prepared to be the star of your story!
Every new day is an opportunity to be the star of your own story. I for one do not intend to waste a minute. I have big dreams and even bigger plans to carry out those dreams. How about you?
