Did you write today?

Here’s 5 way to start the habit of writing daily

1. Place pens and notebooks strategically around your space so you always have something close by.
2. Use apps on your phone that allow you to jot thoughts down on the go
3. Carry a notebook and pen everywhere you go
4. Try to do it at the same time everyday with something outside of writing that brings you joy. I like to drink tea ☕ while I write.
5. Trust the process. Support helps but No one needs to understand your call to write but you.

**Bonus**
Find writing friends that inspire you to keep writing!

The Solar Plexus

Everything You Need to Know About the Solar Plexus (Navel) Chakra

The navel or solar plexus chakra is located at the navel. “Manipura” means “lustrous gem of the city,” and is associated with the natural element of fire.  Its associated color is yellow, hence its links to fire and, more broadly, the sun.
It is directly linked to your sense of self. This energy center is associated with your self-esteem, sense of purpose, personal identity, individual will, digestion, and metabolism, says Stephanie Snyder, a yoga teacher based in San Francisco. When consciousness moves freely in this center, you are empowered by transformative energy.

Growing up I struggled with self esteem and stomach anxiety. Since I started to focus on my healing, my confidence blooms and my stomach anxiety is way less frequent.

One of the things that got me through heartbreak 💔 was words of affirmation. They don’t have to be public. I make my words of affirmation public so that those who need will also find relief but these are things you do in private between you and your future self. When you’re ready to share your journey, you can share your words of affirmation.

Its not as easy as it sounds to find words that make your heart smile everyday for a month but it’s worth every second because you’re worth every second.

Happy Solar Plexus journey!

Ocean Ties

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch – we are going back from whence we came.

John F. Kennedy

Any trip I take to the ocean makes me feel refreshed. If I’m there all day, I’m tired but still refreshed. However, the whole “toes in the sand, not a worry in the world” finally hit me when I took my momcation at Marco Beach. North Eastern beaches are beautiful, but those Florida beaches have a different feel to them. Freedom is the first word that comes to mind. I remember enjoying the sunset and feeling more relaxed than I had in a long time. I printed pictures from that day to remind me of the peace I finally felt. That was about 10 years ago. I’m much more peaceful these days, but that’s where it all started. That’s where I first learned to trust the feeling that everything was going to be okay.

Come All You Weary

I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.

Thomas Paine

I feel this deep in my soul. I’d like to create a future where my children (all children) are safe, and loved, and success can find them. I understand that trouble and loss are a part of life, but whatever I can do to lighten their load, I hope that I can do it.

Here’s one of my favorite songs

Get Ahead of Past You

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Mark Twain

The hardest part is getting started. New habits, new businesses, new mindsets. They are all frustrating in the beginning. That’s a human trait. Don’t give up when you’re starting something new. Always remember, once you start, you’re already getting ahead of your past self.

Fisherman Blood

The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.

Charles Kuralt

I spent all night reading through my ancestry. It was so interesting. My grandmother always told me she was from Prince Edward Island, Canada, and seeing the proof made me excited. I feel like I inherited my fisherman blood from Captain Daniel Alexander Walker. What a fun way to enjoy history.
