Writing Resolutions that Stick for 2014
The New Year’s just around the corner, and that means you’re probably adding “make more time for writing” to your list of resolutions. There’s a reason resolutions don’t stick around, and I’ll tell you why: they need more glue! (aka: a connection to the REASON the resolution was made in the first place.) I’ll break… Continue reading Writing Resolutions that Stick for 2014
The Throat Chakra – An Open Door
So, my own throat chakra feels a bit tight, and I’m panicking. The throat chakra is the place of free, fearless self-expression. When open, it hums. When closed, it squeaks.

Chaos, destruction, imbalance,… Continue reading The Throat Chakra – An Open Door

The Opportunity in Rejection

Silence Between Writing
“To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of, because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solutions.” –Deepak Chopra He touches on something here that’s very important. In the silence,… Continue reading Silence Between Writing
Proper Use of Space
This space will now be used for what it properly is: a blog. I resisted at first, wanting only to have a destination site, but I realize that there’s much to say on writing and the life that spawns it. “You should write, first of all, to please yourself. You shouldn’t care a damn… Continue reading Proper Use of Space
