Unplanned Hiatus

Somewhere I lost my way. It happens to us all at some point. Getting back into the writing saddle has been more challenging than I expected this time. It was innocent, the loss. Or so it seemed.

Writer’s Block: The Pursuit of Perfection

Words typically flow through my mind like a raging river. Recently, the flow stopped in a way it had never done before. I felt frozen, cold and isolated, as if in a shell.

My medicine. The salve for my wounds. It is my outlet, my inlet. It gives me insight and perspective. Through words I connect more deeply with myself and others. Writing is my gateway to sanity, though I often write insanely. Writing is my pleasure and my pain. It is my balance and imbalance. It isContinue reading “Writing is…”

Heart-to-Heart Conversation

This past Sunday, I had to have a heart-to-heart conversation with a dear friend. This person was becoming very sad that her efforts on a project did not seem to be appreciated. She had been doing a lot of work and she just did not feel that others were really seeing what she was doing.Continue reading “Heart-to-Heart Conversation”
