I Am Going to Write a Book Finally
Posted by: | CommentsIf you were following my blog posts last year, you know that I am kept talking about how I want to Write a Book and also how I love poetry. Well, life happened, and more than a year later after my sweet Mother’s passing, I am still not writing. In fact I have gotten distracted several times. Recently, the distraction wiped me out and I felt like I was just dragging around. I realized that I have to follow my own path and my own passion not someone else’s. Cheez, maybe soon I will learn. Obviously, my body and heart let me know but just pulling the plug. And when I get back on track, my energy comes back.
I am just posting this really quickly to get out in to the Universe, I am going to write a book, and I am going to collect all my poems and make that into a book. I am also going to follow the Write Book in 28 Days course. I will let you know how it goes.
Lovey Duck is Back – My First Podcast
Posted by: | CommentsI just recorded my first podcast using Audacity. It is not very clear and there is some static, but not to shabby considering I don’t know how to use audacity. I am not sure if it is my microphone that creates the static but I will work on it. I felt that since today I was inspired to bring back Lovey Duck that I needed to act on it. So put your volume way up and forgive the poor quality. Know that I will be working on it.
Lovey Duck is here from another planet to share with us how their once at-war planet is now known as “The Planet Where There is Nothing But Love”. Lovey and I have grown together and our “stories” have changed through the years. However, in the last 13 years or so THAT story has been hiding deep inside.
Lovey was loved by the old and the young years ago. And I particularly felt loved by her. It is very interesting. She comes from a creative part of me–who knows maybe even channeled. But it is not about the how she shows up but just that she does.
In sharing with my friends a few weeks ago I felt so much love in that moment for my friends and for myself that I knew I had to share it. Then recently I re-connected with several dear friends who knew Lovey back in the day! And I don’t think it is a coincidence. Oh and this morning after doing my meditation and continuum practice I was truly inspired and moved as to how to bring Lovey out, so here is the first podcast–it’s an MP3. Enjoy! And don’t forget to put the volume up.
Keeping My Commitment to Write
Posted by: | CommentsMy confession: I have not been writing too much the last few days. I have gotten sidetracked with working on other projects which are not as near and dear to my heart, but necessary. At least I believe they are.
Lately, I have had a question come up. A new question. Do I want to spend more time writing on my blog or writing a book? And as I write this I am considering, why not do both.
Today is January 2nd, 2009. I hope everyone will have a wonderful year. And I will keep writing, don’t give up on me.
13 Million Plus Listings for Writing with the Heart
Posted by: | CommentsGoodness, I had no clue so many folks have the same idea! Here is an example of a blog entitled: Writing from the Heart. I have not had a chance to read too much there, but Nancy Slonin has an online workshop which I plan to check out myself. I am very interested in reading about her writing philosophy as well. Meantime here is an excerpt from her blog. Looks like she is giving words to how I feel about writing.
“You mine for gold and you find gold… honoring your own voice, writing in your own rhythms, using your own language and writing your own stories. Here is where we stop the inner critic in his tracks,” says Nancy.

Posted by: | CommentsI did a search on youtube.com for “Writing with the Heart” and I found so many great videos. I was surprised to find so many videos. This was one in this post I really enjoyed. Well, I am enjoying all of them. One of them which I feel has great significance you can view in the sidebar: “The Heart of Writing” a documentary of a Narrative Project in L.A.
