How Do We Show Ourselves That Our Desires Matter?

Hey Gang I attended Jennifer Louden’s Masterclass last night.  It was great to see her so excited about sharing her thoughts on the top three hidden fears that keep us from doing our work in the world – the work we so deeply desire… Continue Reading “How Do We Show Ourselves That Our Desires Matter?”

Time for another 3 Day Novel…

Here I am again with no real outline and just a character and I am afraid that there won’t be a way forward. Though, there always is. That is the deepest joy of this weekend for me. Just letting the words flow out onto the page. Side-stepping, faking out, freaking body-slamming, my inner-critic into submission. It’s exhilarating!

making room for magic…

Hullo Sweeties As some of you know, I’ve been hanging out with Jennifer Louden over at the OASIS for a while now. I just passed into my second year as a member and I am still loving up the space that Jen creates and… Continue Reading “making room for magic…”

A year end offering: A few of my favourite things…

Hullo Sweeties I find myself in a strange, disconnected, space tonight.  I did not sleep well (meaning AT ALL) last night.  I fell into some kind of awful sleep coma from about 8am til 11:30 and emerged from it wishing that I had just… Continue Reading “A year end offering: A few of my favourite things…”

telling our stories (a NaNoWriMo wrap-up)

Hullo Sweeties… Time to wrap up this year’s adventure in NaNoLand.  It was a good month.  An interesting month. As I read over the posts I made in November I kept dipping back into the work I did on that specific day—seeking both things… Continue Reading “telling our stories (a NaNoWriMo wrap-up)”

hold to the truth…

Dark moon today…and this year’s adventure in NaNoLand is winding down. I’ve crossed the “finish line” of 50,000 words written. Tomorrow brings a fresh new moon and I will return to my regular writing practice. I stumbled on this poem a few days ago… Continue Reading “hold to the truth…”
