Just Letting Go ...


Today was the day I sent my original photography and original poetry to my publisher, for my upcoming photography/poetry book. To think, I will be a published author. It feels surreal, almost too good to be true. I need someone to pinch me and remind me that it is not a dream. I have "Let Go" of my work and sent it out in confidence to my wonderful publisher, Don Odom. I met him back in 2006 and I am so glad that he has remained in my life. He is a true gentlemen, extremely smart, funny and I am lucky to call him a friend.

I have been reading many other blogs lately, and others seem to give their readers a bit more information about themselves. I have taken this in, and I am ready to share more. So telling you about my soon to be published book is my first step.

When was the last time you "Let Go" of something? Perhaps hurt feelings, or just freeing yourself that is weighing you down ... I would love to hear all about it!

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
