Have you ever written something that just flowed out of you?
Have you ever read one of your own pieces and wondered how the heck that came out of you?
Have you ever looked at your own writing and thought, “Yes. This is who I am – this is what I’m all about. This is my true essence. This is what I want to share.”
I love that feeling. If you’ve ever experienced it, you know that it’s a beautiful gift. You feel it when you’re writing – you start typing
If you were standing on a podium in front of the entire world, what would you say?
What wisdom would you offer?
What heartfelt story would you share?
What piece of yourself would you give?
And how would you hope it would make a difference?
I recently asked this question on Soul Speak’s Facebook page and received some beautiful answers. It’s such a powerful question that really makes us think about what we see as important in life.
A beautiful book and an interview! Keep reading for details!
I write a lot about change. As many of you know, I’ve been going through a huge transition in my life over the past year. I took a leap of faith to focus my attention on writing rather than running my gift business. And what I have found throughout this journey is that when we take that leap and move closer to our dreams, our lives open up.
That doesn’t mean that it’s been an easy transition. All sorts of hidden beliefs
I have been dreading this day. Silently, in the back of my mind I have been worrying about it and planning around it and secretly wishing I could skip right over it.
From an outsider’s perspective, this day would seem like any other. Looking around, things appear to be pretty great – I am home with my amazing husband and sweet furry kids. I am writing. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. And yet, I have a dark cloud hovering over all of these wonderful parts of my life.
You know
A few days ago, I wrote about leaping toward our dreams – putting both feet in – not allowing ourselves to have a safety net. Tony Robbins calls this going to an island and burning the frickin’ boats to make sure we are all in! Well, as I sit here typing this post from an office completely void of any furniture (except for the card table that I am sitting at now, which shakes with each letter that I type) – I would have to say this: I have officially burned my boats.
