A Writing Salon is percolating.

Are you interested in hanging out with a group of like-minded friends that help form a discipline and provide accountability to dedicate time and energy to creative free-flow journaling? A pen to paper self-discovery practice to uncover deep truths and open creativity. What if genuine authentic untapped material is patiently waiting to come forth and guide you?

What if you join my mom and I? Would you like to create an intention to dedicate 15 minutes, a small portion of your day (or a few days of the week) to a writing practice? Personal anecdotes written down that shaped who you are today. Insights that provide an interesting perspective of experience. To use inquisitive prompts that lead you to an intimate revealing glimpse into your life.

I believe everyone has a story to tell. There are lots of reasons to want to write a book

Have you ever felt inspired to write your memoir, perhaps captured ( or to be) in your journal or diary’s reflections? Is there something you feel compelled to share— stories to leave with your family as a legacy or for a reader to benefit from your experience?

For me, it was an outpouring. To transcribe my life’s experiences. To write about the stress as my role as an NICU nurse and then as a mother of a sick child.

Writing is a path to become more intimate with ourselves.

Whether you write down last night’s dream, what makes you happy or your soul’s deepest longings—writing is healing, empowering and can bring much needed clarity. Our original and genuine reflections are much more real, interesting and can bring profound insights. You never know when something wants to pour out of you, as it usually arrives unexpected the more you practice writing.

Do you want to learn tools to discover more about yourself, learn techniques to become a better writer and meet a group of like-minded people?

Join us for an afternoon of creative self-expression:

LET’S DO THIS SAVE YOUR SPOT

I started to drink coffee at seventeen years old. As a high school senior, I took a zero-hour college course at Kansas State University. Waking up early, my dad and I shared a cup of coffee before we headed to campus, where he taught and I attended my first college class.

Coffee’s morning ritual has been in my life for 45 years! I endeavor to write about subjects I am passionate about and feel may also spread positive information.

Encouraging pen to paper, conceptual dreaming editors, meticulous detail line editors and publishing as a bottom-line business kind of guides. From my humble start in 1998 contributing a column to a  London Yoga magazine to two publishers, their editors and an agent later. The last two and a half decades of my writing journey appeared in my mind’s eye.

Today is a full moon.

Spring Equinox, Full Moon and a Lunar Eclipse— what does this beautiful spring time hold?

As many of you know I love to follow the moon cycles. In my daily journal I record where the moon is in it’s monthly rotation. When I follow the cycles I can be more aware of a new Moon (begin again), waxing Moon (building energies), full Moon (surf the wave) or waning Moon (revision energies) and also to be more compassionate with myself and others during high intensity lunar periods, such as a full Moon or eclipses.

I LOVE to support small businesses and here are a few that are home to Language of the Soul: Fifty-Two Affirmations to Guide YOU.

Once we leave this world, what kind of imprint would you like to leave behind?

Kind😍, compassionate 😇, intelligent 💫, inspiring writer ✍️-- are some of my words.

I don’t have the privilege to see individual purchases, although I do get to see the total number of sales. I am beyond happy.

Sometimes people come into your life, without beckoning them. Maybe it’s synchronicity or just like-mindedness that create a synergy for path to cross. Through my book, Healthy Mother Healthy Child, Dr. Greene invited me to be a guest contributor.

Dr. Alan Greene is a world-renowned pediatrician, and has been providing the website DR.GREENE as a public health service since 1995.

For the past 8 days, a forest fire has been burning not too far from our home. Currently the Rio en Medio Fire has spread to 2,700 acres and is 18% contained. Dry conifer and ponderosa pine mixed with steep rugged terrain add to the complexity of efforts to control the fire. National Guard Blackhawk helicopters and 230 firefighters are strategically battling the blaze.

The pendulum swings. Not long ago I was in sunny California — taking in the ocean, deeply beautiful moments and feeling fabulous. Read more, California, Join Us. This week I’m getting a root canal.

HOW HARD CAN IT BE?

I sit in the endodontics office filling out the paper work. I feel a shaky sense of maybe I should just get-up-and-leave kind of feeling wash over me. Then I hear my self say, “how hard can this be? It can’t hurt that bad as long as the anesthetic works.”
