HAPPY NEW YEAR!


HAPPY NEW YEAR!

WELCOME to 2013 ... 

A New Year has always meant wiping the slate clean and starting fresh ... To think ahead, without looking back ... To look at the things we can learn, read, create ... Or on the flip side, things we can let go of, work on, change etc ... 

I have much to be thankful for ... A great family, good friends, a warm house to arrive to, being greeted my two friendly cats, a cozy living room to relax in etc ... 

If I could ask for some prayers for my Dad - He has a few procedures to get through in the upcoming months ... We Love You!

I have much to look forward to ... My first book will be released at months end (with a little luck!), Turning a year older next month,  a Superbowl to watch, then Spring - Right around the corner ... 

Tell me what a New Year means to you ... What is happening in the upcoming months for you?

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?
