Once Upon a Time, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Well not Once Upon a Time, but Once Before Covid, and not in a Galaxy Far, Far Away, but in my own personal galaxy, I came up with an idea.  I had been working, kind of sort of, on a young adult novel, when I was struck by an idea.  I wanted to write a companion book to my book Thinking Positive: Take the Journey into Positivity.  Then covid struck and my life was turned upside down.  I foolishly thought, as a teacher who was now working from home, that I would have PLENTY of time to write.  I was wrong, so, so wrong.   I worked more hours than I could ever imagine recreating curriculum, and reaching out to kids trying to help, begging them to do work and just making sure they were okay.  Summer brought more of the same.  Things changed a little bit in the fall.  We were still remote, but it was more structured, and I found that I did have more time, but something had happened.  It was a not good something.  I started listening to the voices in my head.  You know those voices, the ones that tell you your too fat, or stupid,…

I Manifested one of my Biggest Dreams

A few years ago, I manifested something.  I am a huge believer in the Law of Attraction, I have vision boards, and I truly believe in the concept of Ask, Believe, Receive.  One of my huge dreams/goals/vision board items was to be a published author.  Now here's the thing, the law of attraction wasn't going to write a book for me, edit it, design a cover and submit it for publication.  And I think that's an important thing to remember.   If you want to manifest a healthy body - you are still the one that is going to have to eat better and exercise.  The Law of Attraction will maybe be bringing you the will power to do it. So as I said, one of my biggest life dreams was to write a book and I did it.  The Law of Attraction helped me to find my muse.  Led me to and editor, helped me find someone to do the kindle formatting and helped me upload it to Amazon Direct Publishing and voila - book on kindle. In the interim, I took a couple of writing classes and that brought me other options.  I learned about an amazing resource called…

The Reason

Everything happens for a reason, you only need to keep on editing your attitude and gratitude so as to sail through. - Unknown I haven't felt like writing for a while. I could give you chapter and verse as to why, but in the end, it doesn't really matter. I just haven't felt like writing, so I haven't been writing. I don't have a concrete reason, I just haven't felt like writing.  And yet, tonight, here I am writing and the reason for that is I am grateful.  I had something happened to me this weekend which totally sent me over the deep end into the gratitude pool.  That's not to say I had a bad attitude before or wasn't grateful for things that had happened, because I was. But right now, I am splashing around in that deep end of the gratitude pool and it feels good, and what do you know, I'm sitting here writing! Is there a correlation?  Maybe, maybe not.  I don't know, and you know what?  I don't care either.   I'm not going to dig through my psyche and try and figure out the why and why not of my not writing.  I don't need…
