Today is my mother's birthday. I am reflecting on life changes and sadness. I am feeling this burst of energy i feel like i am taking my time back... SLOWLY. I am allowing the changes that come to propel me forward. While the past few weeks have been challenging I feel like the winds have changed in my favor. There are things are being revealed that are positive as reminders for why I write. Why are we struggling right now? Why do we experience some resistance? What is the lesson for us? Feel the shift...

Writing prompts/meditation:

What am I noticing in my life right now...

What's showing up for me right now...

What's recurring...

Whats entering my life right now that are blessings, that is magical...

Who is showing up for me...

How are the winds changing in my life

My intention for today is...

MY INTENTION for today is to stand in my grace with dignity and love, honor and gratitude.

Journal Entry ~ February 6, 2019

There are some impurities that we receive from external sources that require our attention. Today I am feeling heavy about things we see in the news and in social media. It is necessary to disconnect and detach from things that are no good for our bodies. Today I am taking care of the writer in me that needs nurturing. Writing requires so much and takes so much from me. This morning I share what self-care looks like for me, please share what helps you.

What drives the writing?

What are you putting into your body?

What helps you during the writing process?

How do you take care of the writer in you?

Writing prompts/meditation:

The writer in me deserves to be...

What I will gift myself today...

How I will show up for my stories and pages...

How I will take care of my body is...

How I will put myself and my needs first...

My intention for today...

MY INTENTION FOR TODAY IS TO BE HONEST in my writing and my life.

Diary entry ~ February 4, 2019

In a perfect world I would have this sanctuary in the mountains where I can escape to in order to get the writing done. In my dreams I live in a cottage by a lake. But the truth is I am surrounded by brick and live in a city that is overpopulated and consumed with chaos. Sometimes you have to return to where it all began...

How can we use what we have in order to create in the chaos?

Writing prompts/meditation:

My world in chaos looks like...

When I sift through the chaos and move things out of the way I discover...

I have been here before and I was able to...

The truth is the chaos isn't what is stopping me...

My intention for today...

MY INTENTION for today is to just be in this space, be present in this moment and remind myself of all I accomplished when I slept on a mattress on the floor.

Diary entry ~ February 2, 2019

I have moved past the frustration of not writing. I have almost stopped beating myself up about not coming to the page. Today I am grateful for finding joy in teaching writing even when I am unable to focus on my own work. Today I am meditating on not staying with it, not executing, not managing my time well and all the ways I have not been kind to myself. What can we do when we are still not writing... how can we be good to ourselves, more kind and more loving? How can we show up to the page with more compassion for ourselves? I am reminding myself that I am writing even when I don't.

I don't write to live, writing gives me life!

Writing prompts/meditation:

When I am still not doing what I say I intend to do...

The thing that I want to do that I have not started yet is...

What has kept me from doing what I want to do is...

What I am acknowledging about what I need and about myself is...

My intention for today...

MY INTENTION for today is to walk with joy!
