Staying Connected To Your Writing

Debora Seidman, my Writing mentor, spiritual sister and inspiration goddess... always keeps me in touch with my reason to write and keep writing:

Staying connected to your writing is a fabulous way to stay
connected to your self. I've said it before, but it's worth
repeating.

Like me, you probably write for different reasons at different
times. You may be working on a novel, or a collection of poems,
or perhaps your first play. Or maybe writing is your personal
spiritual practice and it's just between you and the Divine.
Whatever the reason you write, it's good to remember that writing
is a resource for you and can serve you.

If you're struggling with something in your life, sit down and
write it out. If you do this on a regular basis, you'll find
that you learn to trust yourself more and more, and the more you
learn to trust yourself, the easier it is to stay connected to
yourself, and to return to your self when you lose that connection.

Staying connected with yourself is the clearest way I know to
live a peaceful life. It's been said, "To thine own self be
true." And you can only be true to your own self, if you have a
connection to yourself. So....write write write, from you to
you, whenever you feel the thread between you and your true self
is running thin.

Blessings on all the songs and stories of your soul,

Debora
