Blog Anxiety

Blog Anxiety

“Everybody is qualified to write a book if they are called to do so.”

That is what Reid Tracy, the Vice President of Hay House, told a group of us in a writer’s workshop. I believe that…I think…somewhere inside of me where my human ego, with all of its doubts and cutting words, is not allowed to tread- I really believe that. I have felt called for SO LONG...

It reminds of something I read in Gregg Levoy's book, aptly titled, "Callings," "...any leap you want to make in your professional or personal life that will bring you this sense of alignment and aliveness is, by definition, a calling." 

So as I am working on publishing my grief books (all 10 of them) I am taking Reid’s next piece of advice. “Start a blog," he said.  “You must build your platform. It gets the ideas flowing.”

So here I am starting a blog (what?!)– over the next few weeks, maybe months (?) I will be putting my thoughts down about all things spiritual and allowing you to judge it and comment and let me know if it is remotely interesting to live a minute in the life of a spiritual junkie.

That picture up top is an actual picture of me on a zip line. For me, starting a blog feels like THAT moment- before all perceived safety is about to be stripped away...the view is great and it's exhilarating but you know there is potential for disaster. Although, Blog death is a lot less dramatic...

That’s all I got. I am one beer in and feeling a bit overwhelmed. Contemplating grief. Contemplating life. Contemplating computer viruses. 

Maybe I will try again later.
