A tiny ripple of hope. These words remind me of The Butterfly Effect. To summarize, The Butterfly Effect is when something as small as a butterfly flapping it’s wings can create something as mighty as a tornado weeks later. I share that to say this, a tiny ripple is enough. Your small acts of kindnessContinue reading “Act of Kindness”

Writers are Human
I had to make my most favorite writers human. I have the tendency to place great writers behind glass, where I can’t touch them. When I sit down and read words that touch my soul, it makes me feel so small. Words do mean a lot to me. I often make them much bigger thanContinue reading “Writers are Human”
Spirit and Writing
To lose our connection with the body is to become spiritually homeless. Without an anchor we float aimlessly, battered by the winds and waves of life. Dr. Anodea Judith I like to have plans with my editing sessions. 65k words is hell to edit with no guide on what to look for. I know theContinue reading “Spirit and Writing”
Writing Fantasy
Writing doesn’t take up enough of my life but I haven’t gone a day without doing it. I used to have writing dreams of going off to a cabin in the woods and writing my days away. I stopped dreaming about them for a while but right now an away writing sesh sounds amazing. IContinue reading “Writing Fantasy”
Gentle and Encourging
When you encourage others, you in the process are encouraged because you’re making a commitment and difference in that person’s life. Encouragement really does make a difference. Zig Ziglar Words of affirmation are important to me. But let me explain where I learned it from. I learned it from watching mentors around me and byContinue reading “Gentle and Encourging”
Team
There are times when I want to build brand new things with a team but you know what, teamwork is hard work. People show up with their own desires, passions, and goodness, they also show up with their hurts and learned behaviors. With that being said, as a team, you’re there to work together toContinue reading “Team”
Challenge and Progress
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. George Bernard Shaw It feels good to finish things that both challenge me and add progress. Forward momentum is part of being alive. The challenging part is learning to enjoy the process. Before I started writing novels, I didn’t understandContinue reading “Challenge and Progress”
Give Yourself Permission
I did a 15 minute meditation this evening. I also had the house to myself so it was convenient. Today was a weird day but I’m glad I got to have some time to myself to sit and just be. No judging. No trying to change things. It feels good to let things go. AfterContinue reading “Give Yourself Permission”
Grow into Something
I learned to knit a scarf today! It’s exciting to see it slowly grow into something other than a ball of yarn. I’m taking my time to master the tension and fixing my mistakes without having to start it all over. It’s fun. I popped on some weird youtube videos and knitted the day away.Continue reading “Grow into Something”
Words to Support Words?
I hate quotations. Tell me what you know. Ralph Waldo Emerson Despite what Mr. Emerson may feel, I appreciate a good quote. There’s a quote for everything. All I have to do is think about how I felt or what actions stood out the most to me, and find one word to describe it. ThenContinue reading “Words to Support Words?”
