The Writers Lounge has a Muse

The Writers Lounge has a Muse! How do I know? Yesterday she would not leave me alone. She first appeared in the afternoon while I was writing at the beach. Yes, I do that at least once a week- at special spots where the Ocean Muses come to shore. Now the Writers Lounge - a global space created by writers around the world has a Muse too. Will I ever get any rest? Not likely now!

In the evening she had me sitting at the computer creating fourteen days of writing sparks. She wants us to keep writing. In fact she thinks the holiday season is one of the best times to write. Why? Most of us have time away from our ordinary routines. She loves that! She says ordinary life does not have enough fire in it. We ignore her sparks. We are not listening. We cover up our creative embers with chores. Also - many people feel sad or lonely during the holiday season - even when they are spending time with loved ones.  There is a collective longing in the air - a desire for connection and  belonging. The Muse from the Writers Lounge tells me we long to feel our own Creative Flow. We miss our Selves she says - and she has a cure. Get Creative! Get Writing!

I've just learned that everyone who registers for the Special Event "Write Your Life for 2010" happening December 29th will get a gift from the Muse of the Writers Lounge - Fourteen days of Writing Sparks. I just have to figure out the technical stuff to deliver  a Writing Spark each day for fourteen days to our email boxes. I'm working on that right now. I have a feeling the Muse from the Writers Lounge is going to be keeping us all very busy doing what we love- writing.

Tips from John Cleese ~ Create an Oasis!

I think John Cleese is pretty cool! I just stumbled upon this awesome Video of the actor John Cleese talking about his Creative Process and I loved it. He speaks about creating an Oasis in your life- where your creativity can emerge. Most of us have difficulty doing this. We have trouble tuning out from our daily grind - and that is why I created the Writers Lounge.

But there is something else that makes the Writers Lounge unique. You are not writing alone - and that is one of the most difficult challenges writers, artists and creators face. The solitude, the loneliness, the isolation. At the Writers Lounge you have company. Even though you are writing on your own, you know others are right there beside you writing too. It's comforting and the gathered creative energy adds to your writing flow.

For one hour you don't have to think. I guide you in Writing Practices and for that one hour - all you do is write, write, write. It is amazing what happens in just one hour devoted to your own creativity.

If you have not yet signed up for Thursdays Writers Lounge you can still do so here. Writers Lounge
When you register you add a topic to the mix. (The topics that have come in so far are heartful, deep and intriguing. They will indeed get our creative sparks firing!)

Video: I have always enjoyed the humorous side of John Cleese. Here we get a peek into his Creative Process: Enjoy!
ps. OASIS is one of my favorite words. Now you know. Oasis, Oasis, OASIS! I Love that Word. What words do you love?

Firmed up Plans for Writing into the New Year

Today we firmed up our plans for Three Events to Write Your Life for 2010!
I am more than a little excited about these events since these are Writing Practices that have changed my life - more than once - and I have the privilege of sharing them.

Last night at our Writers Flow Class I guided the group into a preliminary writing practice that helped them see, feel and understand their creative power - or feelings of dis-empowerment -  in the four major rooms of their life: Health, Wealth, Work/Play, Love. It was a full night of Writing with Spirit - and there were surprises. That is one of the best experiences - When we get out of the way and observe what appears on the page instead of controlling it.

I'll be doing Two Events in Kona
Sunday Dec 27th at the Aloha Center for Spiritual Living
and
Saturday January 2nd at Unity Church of Kona- Kohala

and I'll be doing a Global Teleclass for Anyone and Everyone Around the World
Tuesday Dec 29th

It will be a busy week for me and I hope you will join me for one, two or all three events.
There is nothing like putting ideas in black and white to get the creative forces of the Universe whirling and swirling into manifestation.

Writing and Dreaming

I'm preparing for the upcoming "Write Your Life for 2010" workshops by taking myself through a series of new writing practices. I'm loving what is happening. Remember that song:
"I can see clearly now the rain is gone!" That is how I feel today.

And I am loving that my night dreams are dovetailing with my daytime writing practice. On the first day I wrote for my house of LOVE in 2010. That night I had a love dream that revealed my design and confirmed my blueprint. I could see the choices I had made that took me down a less than fulfilling love path. In the dream I made new choices – founded on my new blueprint and could see an entirely different experience for love in my life.

 Last night I had a dream where I was stuck in a new building for my work. I was trying to be safe. Instead of hiding from my attackers I ended up in their room. I woke with understanding. Trying to be safe never works. It is the egos path. Real safety comes when I follow my Higher Self - which often asks me to be daring and to take risks. Today I will do the writing practices for my house of WORK for 2010.

Over the next few days I'll "Write my Life for 2010" for both HEALTH AND WEALTH. I can't wait to see the design for the greatest expression of my Higher Self in all of the major houses of my life for the year ahead.

I'm offering  two live "Write your Life for 2010!" workshops in Hawaii and I got so excited about this process that I've just added a new Global Teleclass to the schedule. This process is too good not to share.
