Watching a Movie:
Watching it with others provides
an opportunity to get 5 different view points.
Watching Your Shift:
Is not like watching a movie.
Only ask people who are in
the know for their perspective.
Those who do not understand your path
will only project their fears onto you.
They can’t be objective.
Love them anyway.
Writers Block?
5 things I did today to help clear,
and re-organize my mind
· A short walk
· A long shower
· A 15 minute drive
· Chopping veggies
· Making soup
I literally outlined my article for next weeks post as I made soup – got clear on the points I wanted to make. And decided upon the context.
Why does this work? 🧵

It’s all about rhythm.
The repetitive actions—
* footsteps on pavement
* steady beat of water in the shower
* pattern of stoplights along the drive
* and the rhythmic chopping of vegetables
They help me clear the mental clutter and get into a flow. These activities set my brain into a soothing cadence, creating space for clarity and creativity.

Rhythmic Repetition Promotes:
* Regulates the brain: Helps reset your focus through steady motion.
* Calms the nervous system: Eases stress by soothing an overstimulated system.
* Integrates body and mind: Connects physical movement with mental clarity.
* Fosters connection: Creates a feeling of being part of something bigger.
* Lifts mood: Reduces stress and boosts your overall mood.
* Promotes relaxation: Encourages mental calm and creative flow.
Next time you’re stuck, find a rhythm.
Whether it’s a walk, a drive, or making a pot of soup, you might find the answers more easily by using this simple tool.

Not everything is a priority
Not everything is urgent
In the Fog of Overwhelm:
1. ID the single most important thing to be done -right now
2. Do it
3. Celebrate that you did it
Start again…. 1, 2, 3
Repeat 5x then take a break
“There comes a time in your life,
when you walk away from
all the drama and people who create it.
You surround yourself with people
who make you laugh.
Forget the bad and focus on the good.
Love the people who treat you right,
pray for the ones who do not.
Life is too short to be anything but happy.
Falling down is a part of life,
getting back up is living.”
― José N. Harris
No matter how many books I write.
The thrill of seeing my book on shelves
in my local bookstore never gets old.
I am humbled
And grateful.
Still.
When friends told me there was a huge table
in the Union Square B&N (NYC) showcasing them
I blushed and was embarrassed
It’s so silly.
But still, I pray that the love that has
Being poured into each one helps
the person who has bought it.

Whenever I feel lethargic
Whenever I feel uninspired
Whenever I feel overwhelmed
I seek out art, color, and imagery.
It wakes up my spirit and my creativity.
Yesterday I went to the Van Gogh exhibit with a friend.
Being surrounded by color and beauty shifts me.
It offers a different perspective.
It lifts my mood.
