Do you ever feel “meh” about your purpose, relationships, career…life?

Are you a reader or want to be a reader? Well, both Judy and I love a good book! Over the years I have read or listened to the audio version of countless stories. But lately (since retired from teaching) my reading habit has fallen off. This year, I've decided to refresh this practice. My reasons go beyond the educational focus of upgrading my mind and opening up other worlds. Instead, I look forward to becoming more interesting, improving my memory, and reducing stress.

"Acceptance means no complaining, and happiness means no complaining about the things over which you can do nothing." --Dr. Wayne Dyer (Your Erroneous Zones)

Today Judy and I dig into the vintage self-help book "Your Erroneous Zones". This was Dr. Wayne Dyer's first book, published almost a half-century ago. It offers practical advice on how to break free from destructive thought patterns and overcome negative emotions. It was the first book of its kind that Judy had ever read...and it blew her mind back in 1977.

Then we discuss how its concepts are still relevant. We specifically look at two sections: The first is about the useless emotions of guilt and worry and the second is about breaking free from the past and not getting sucked into negative thought loops.

"The only thing that keeps you young is constantly doing things you don't know how to do." -unknown

Today Lisa and Judy begin by telling a bit of the history of the podcast. Then they quickly move into the plan for this to be a place that inspires, entertains, and assists others.

"I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change." --Jim Rohn

If you've followed the Sidetracked Sisters for a while or listened to some previous episodes of this podcast, you will know that we are all familiar with change. Although it may not be easy, it is something we can fight a losing battle with, or embrace and grow.

That is what we are doing with this podcast. You see, we've decided that this is the LAST episode of the Overcoming Writer's Block podcast. Beginning in 2024, the Sidetracked Sisters and I will be broadening the scope of our conversations to include a wide variety of entertaining, informative, and inspiring conversations and interviews. This will all take place here on the NEW Sidetracked Stories podcast.

So listen in to hear our thoughts about the upcoming third season--which begins next week!

Today all four of the Sidetracked Sisters are here on the Overcoming Writer's Block podcast! We share with you what our writer's group does, how we began getting together, and how we organize our Thursday night "meetings".

Later, we get into how this gathering strengthens our relationships and helps us keep writer's block at bay...

"Your story matters. More importantly, you matter." -anonymous

Today's episode goes out to everyone who considers themselves a lifelong writer...those who haven't written since a high school English class, and everyone in between. It's for those with complicated life experiences...those who have lived calm, secure, healthy "boring" lives--and everyone in between. Maybe you've traveled to all 7 continents and been married to five different people. Or, perhaps you live in the same town where you were born and raised and have been happily single...forever.

It's time to get your story down on paper.

And we have exciting news!

Not only do we want you to get your life stories down on paper, but we've got some new ideas to help you get it done!

Are you more of a thankful person or one who is grateful?

Today Judy and I explore the twin concepts of thankfulness and gratitude. We work through their differences and talk about how they influence our writing. Then we discuss how we can change our perspective on writing and our role as a "writer" when we embody thankfulness and gratitude.
