A Way Out of Writer’s Block
Staring at our screens for hours is not getting our books written. Walking away is not getting our books written. I used to do both—paired with way too much coffee. Now I write through it, and my writing is much better for it. Sometimes writer’s block has nothing to do with our story. Sometimes it […]
Follow Your Bliss and Transform
That fluttery, full feeling in your core is bliss. It’s that spark of life and light within you. What if you gave yourself permission to follow and foster this bliss? What if cultivating and nurturing your spark is your greatest calling? Take a few moments and think about when you are the happiest—when you feel […]
Writing is Healing
“Writing is healing” is a simple statement but packed with power. It wasn’t until I finished writing my fifth novel that I realized all the books I had written healed specific emotions within me. I had an “aha” moment when I discovered my thoughts about prior situations were no longer haunting me. I was removed […]
Seek Out Support and Soar
First, believe in yourself. Second, surround yourself with people who believe in you. Third, soar to new heights. No matter what your passion is—find people who get it. My passion is writing, and my desire is to be a published author. When I first started getting serious about writing, I sat at my computer and […]
Hiring a Book Coach Can Change Your Life
I had written five books, queried for three years, and finally my fifth book was getting noticed by agents. However, even with fifteen full requests many of the agents were passing on representation. At that point, I knew I needed to do something different. In addition to querying, I began building my social media presence […]
Increase Magic in Your Life
The Magic is a must read for anyone who wants to increase magic and joy in life. It’s meant to be read over twenty-eight days where you put into practice an activity each day. I completed the exercises in December, and I am blown away by how I feel and what is manifesting in my […]
My Quarantine Memoir
After what felt like A THOUSAND MORNINGS indoors, I took my car for THE LONGEST RIDE into the WILD. I started hearing VOICES IN THE STONES or it could have been THE CACTUS nearby. After my CONFESSIONS OF A DOMESTIC FAILURE, the voice said GIRL, STOP APOLOGIZING. You’re UNDER PRESSURE to keep your daughter EDUCATED. […]
Isolation Inspires Creative Connection
During this time, we decide how we use our time in isolation. We can choose creative connection to others and nature. When we take a break from our normal routine, we open channels of creativity to stay connected. In fact, to thrive in this new isolated environment, we must get creative. You’ve already begun—we all […]
Coloring Mandalas Inspires
Before having a child, you would never find me sitting still and coloring. It just wasn’t something I thought made sense for me to do. Trying to get me to sit and meditate is even worse, I want to do it because I understand the benefits, but I have a list of things I’d rather […]
Celebrate Yourself. Take Time to Be Proud.
A reality check every now and then is a good thing. Oftentimes, we get so caught up in the day to day that we don’t take a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come (well if you’re anything like me). Sometimes I am so focused on what I want to accomplish that I forget […]
