Your Beautiful Hidden Room .....Why you sit and Write & Create!

I remember, I remember,

The house where I was born,

The little window where the sun

Came peeping in the morn;

- Thomas Hood

Need A Strong Motivator?

Did you know that visual stimulation has been proven to be a strong motivator? Today I made a vision board. It’s just pictures of things I like, or want, or that just inspire me. In the center I pieced together in big letters the word “WRITE.” Why did I set it up? I needed something to get me inspired – motivated. I did it because I need a nudge every now and then to remind me not to procrastinate to get started back writing. Maybe your goal is buying that new house, new car, or a new boat. Or just paying off a bill. Make a vision board- a visual stimulation to get you moving in the direction you want to me.

Need to start over? Where should you start?

Need to start over? Where should you start? Start from right where you are. To get some where….From anywhere you need to start. The process of redirecting yourself is simply put just to start over. No matter how painful, slow, confusing or frustrating it may feel just start over. From where? From right from where you are. No one but you really knows that anyway, so refresh yourself think of the fact that every day when you awake, begins a new day. So change direction and begin anew!

Why I know books will never go totally away!

Why I know books will never totally go away? Why? Because each day each of us need some kind of inspiration and for me I find it here and there and something I’ve read in a book. What about you?

Life Isn't a Dress Rehearsal ......Tap Into Your Energy!

“When you perform…you are out of yourself – larger and more potent, more beautiful. You are for minutes heroic. This is power. This is glory on earth. And it is yours, nightly." Agnes De Mille

“As you go through this thing called life. Don’t hold back! It really does matter! So play to the audience your life! Wear your best, dress the part. Use the best. And always cast yourself in the main role. Don't run on the ground with a bunch of turkeys. Soar high up in the sky like the eagle and be the leader. Remember be the leader in your own life, own your power you one of a kind energy. Its can be exciting and real!"

Wait for it here goes.

Ten Dollars, One hundred Dollars….A Million Dollars… Get it?"
