Write On!

 

"The funny thing about a writing career is that you can only plan so much of it. The high points come out of the blue; the low points seems to drag on longer than anticipated; and the inspired writing phases can pass in the blink of an eye.

 

Each of my 10 books came about through various inspirations and situations that I never planned or had mapped out. My first book, "The Art of Trapeze", took 5 years to write, and I dealt with rejection from literary agents and discouragement within myself. But once the book was finally complete and released, it took off and sold over 30,000 copies globally, hitting #2 on Amazon behind "12 Years A Slave". (Yes, a small part of me wanted to let those literary agents know about that. :) I then wrote 3 more books in one year, followed by 4 more books in 2 years.

 

It is a very exciting time to be a writer and to follow this path because there are an incredible amount of resources, strategies, and opportunities for you right now.

 

And your biggest responsibility through everything is to just keep showing up for yourself.

 

The Write Beach Retreat will support you no matter where you are in your process because it will be geared to what you are experiencing right now with your writing projects.

 

It's time to write on - and I would love to help you with whatever writing project is calling to you now."

Guided Meditation Works!

I can still vividly remember how incredibly relaxed this guided meditation by Deepak Chopra made me feel.

 

It was 2005.

I was lying on a couch in Paris, completely wiped out.

My friend Trisha and I had been exploring the city, and we returned to her apartment in the 6th arrondissement to take a much needed break. We devoured baguette sandwiches, and couldn't muster the energy to do anything else for the afternoon - couch collapse!

 

Except my mind was still racing with way too many ideas and thoughts - know that feeling? Your body is telling you to relax, but you can't turn off your dang monkey mind.

 

My first generation iPod mini was stocked with only one guided meditation. There weren't a lot of options available in 2005, after all. I shuffled through a few songs and finally landed on this album choice. The easy words, soft chanting and soothing music felt like heaven as my mind finally slowed down and I drifted off into an awesome trance. That 20-minute nap felt like hours of sleep.

 

The best thing about guided meditations is that they work WITH your mind's activity at the beginning. You do not have to fight your thoughts, or struggle with all of the mental chatter, or try to force something to happen.

 

You simply listen.

 

Quality guided meditations work with your body's rhythm to calm down your energy, relax the mind, and take you deeper into your brain's delta and theta waves.

 

I wanted to share this with you because as we enter April, the energies get a bit WONKY. Yes, that is my official description for the month. :)

 

Now is a wonderful time to continue calming your mind and spirit whenever you feel off-balance or overwhelmed. You'll need supportive resources this month. Even if you've never tried meditation before, or you have and it didn't 'work' because you kept thinking (which is normal!), please give it another go. Obviously I strongly recommend these selections, especially starting at track 3.

 

I share with you why April is WONKY in this week's astrology and energy update right here.

Pros and Cons of Traditional and Indie Publishing

After going through the process of traditional publishing, I discovered a lot of freedom (and more work) with the self-publishing option.

Is it for you?

In this video on my new business website, learn more about the pros and cons of each approach, including:

- Having creative control

- An author's responsibility for all of the marketing and events

- Making 70% of the list price

- Pricing books on Amazon

- Constant innovation

- Support and best practices from other indie authors

- Access to all online distribution channels

There is no BEST approach - only what is best for YOU.

Conscious Books: Soul Journey to Love

We all have busy lives these days with constant stimuli everywhere. Our calendars are full and our minds are fuller. It’s easy to be focused on what is happening “out there” and forget about the essential practice of connecting “in here.”

It's exactly because of those reasons that I enjoyed Soul Journey to Love: 100 Days to Inner Peace by Dr. Irene Cohen. I found each of the daily messages to be a beautiful exhale of loving reminders about our innate wisdom, peace, and love. Dr. Cohen guides the reader through 100 days of insights, processes, and prayers in a manner that I connected with because her writing style is digestible, straight-forward, and empowering. She was guided to stop reading other spiritual materials while writing this book in order for her true inner voice to be heard more fully.

Reading a chapter a day is not a new literary concept, but the wisdom and reference to A Course in Miracles, coupled with Dr. Cohen's inspiring messages, makes this resource special. Some daily insights resonated with me strongly and I referenced them a few times. It turned out to be an easy book to pick up and flip through since most passages are only a page long.

The book is divided into three parts with progression of knowledge from general instructions, to more insights about God and Universal mind, and then to lyrical poems and passages. 

For practical purposes, Soul Journey to Love is an excellent nightstand read before going to bed, upon waking in the morning, or as a companion during lunchtime. It doesn't require a lot of time or a big commitment as if you’re starting another book. It’s simply a beautiful supplement to the day’s activities and never-ending to-do list.

Finding time to have a daily practice is becoming more important in our busy lives and this guide is a great place to start – or continue – that intention.
