A New Perspective – Lessons from My Month of Writing – Part II
My month of writing was my intention to go home for one month to write the last piece of my solo show. While home, I quickly learned that my purpose for being there was beyond my intention. I am very reflective and can always see all sides of any issue, but that month taught me…
The Master Shift – Lessons from My Month of Writing – Part I
My month of writing was my intention to go home for one month to write the final piece of my solo show, (which is about the three hardest moments of my life). The weeks leading up to that time, I noticed moments from my past that popped up and surprised me. I didn’t know that…
A Life All It’s Own – Month of Writing – Reflection
“I feel old.” I told my friend as we caught up at his restaurant. “Not old, but mature. And I feel worn down too. ” I went back to my hometown in May with the hope that I would write the rest of my solo show (The Unimaginable). The writing I planned did not happen,…
Grounded – My Month of Writing
This month of writing is taking on a life of it’s own. I found myself in conversations with authors, a mentor from college, my friend the fiction writer, my friend the spiritual intuitive, my friend the psychologist and my friend the yogi.

Heal First, Write Second – My Month of Writing

Wisdom Wednesday #3 – The Journey
Happy Wednesday! It’s only been two days of My Month of Writing. I am writing, but not what I came home to write. I think I put too much pressure on myself. I am resisting. I know I am resisting, even though I mentally prepared myself to write this specific story this month. I…
Mindful Monday #13 – Writing
Happy Monday. Today I start my first day of writing the third part of my solo show. I am tempted to start with a fresh new draft, but I fear that it maybe fear that came up with that idea. In preparing for my day and month of writing, I wanted to start this week…
Shake It Out – My Month of Writing
I am embarking on a personal writing journey (Mindful Monday #10: Letting Go) for the Month of May. I will write the third part of my solo piece (The Unimaginable), which is the hardest story to write to date. I’ve avoided writing this story, I’ve avoided this storyline for almost a decade. In all fairness,…
