I had my writing class again this week and it was so life giving. Sometimes I drag myself through the day with some “who do I think I am giving writing classes” kind of doubts running around in my head, but the minute I see these 9 women walk in all eager to see what’s in store and to start writing and sharing, I ease right in and I love every minute of it. Tuesday night was no exception. In fact it was one of the best nights yet.
To see the transformation happening within that room, to see the personal and collective learning and nurturing which happens is just beyond words. It’s an experience which needs to be lived. When I leave there I find myself saying: “more, more, how can I create more” and I wonder why in the world I ever had any doubts going in. There is such a powerful energy in the room when a group of women put pen to paper and begin to write together. It’s electrifying.
I feel better these past few days then I did at the beginning of the week. For a while there I was losing my focus and I was ready to give up on what I’ve worked so hard getting. It’s challenging to stay focused when what one loves doing is not meeting financial demands and fear starts undermining all the hard work done so far.
There are times when I need to constantly make a conscious effort to return to “trust”, to re-focus on what’s important, on what matters, and on the knowing that the universe will provide. My fear is there to remind me to once more turn towards that which I want to experience. I can choose what I focus on. Choice is always mine.
Just like my friend here who I went hiking with the other day – I can choose what I focus on.

Hi Annette,
It seems that writing for you is like Nature is for me. I must connect to Nature each day to feel whole and the more I connect, the better I feel. Sometimes my words drop on the page or on scraps of paper in sporadic scratchings and other times they place themselves there with a purpose in mind. I can hardly wait for the retreat to sit with other women and write and read our words together. I really miss that. Less than 3 weeks now !! Looks like you found a wonderful place to hike.
love awlays,

Thank you for your comments on my blog postings Phillis. I always appreciate what you have to say. Yes, nature plays a big part in my life too - in fact it is often the seat of my inspiration to write. The retreat is coming fast!
"the seat of my inspiration to write"
I love the way you said this Annette. See you soon.
love always,
Phillis xoxoxoxo
