in this episode... Oh my word, why oh why do we do this?
October hits and we put our goals, dreams and desires on hold...
cause you know... 'it's the holiday!' 3 months of the year. Poof. Gone! Today have a listen. I truly believe this is a message so many of us need to hear. In today's episode: First a recap from last week's all the things.
It seemed to resonate deeply with so many of you. Thank you for your messages. The podcast name will be changing soon...and the content will be expanding.
Not to worry, WRITE will still be a big part of this and much more. All the things.

Stay tuned. This week...we're talking giving up.

Quitting on yourself...during the holidays.

I really believe this is a must listen. Be sure to listen through to the end...

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.  ― Harriet Tubman i'm excited to share this idea with you...think-ing as if. practical, doable... life change-able. we're continually think-ing as if... thinking as if we can or thinking as if we can't. our thoughts determine our actions and ultimately our results. LET'S CHECK IN How are your thoughts around a write practice serving you? how are your thoughts around that thing you want to do serving you? Are you think-ing as if you can? or you can't? with love.

when the world comes crashing at your feet it’s okay to let others help pick up the pieces if we’re present to take part in your happiness when your circumstances are great we are more than capable of sharing your pain” —Rupi Kaur   Someone I love is hurting. It's not my story to tell.  But oh my, how I wish I could help heal her heart. I wish for the right words. Something to ease the pain. All that I have, all that I know... 'i love you. i'm so sorry. i'm here. i love you.' Pain ... no shortcuts or easy outs. But oh how I wish I could give that to her.   ♡

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning." ― Benjamin Franklin Oh life. How I love you. One thing, one moment, leads to the next and so begins a whole other journey. I wouldn't change a thing. This week a story of falling down and eventually falling in love with the world around me. This story was originally shared in my photography class, a month of multiples, but still applicable to the 'write life' practice.   LINKS REFERENCED A Month of Multiples Class LET'S CHECK IN Can you relate? At the top of the page... I'm grateful for: Lean in. List it. See it. Be it. Repeat. xx Kim Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.  – William Arthur Ward

You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now.” ― Wayne Dyer   We teach best what we most need to learn. Today, something I know in my soul, but often forget. Maybe you too? Shiny objects often call to me.... in the form of classes, tech, gear, software... The truth is, I have all I need to move forward with the next step and the next. (and repeat)   Let's check in Can you relate? Is there something your brain keeps trying to tell you.... You need this before you can do that? At the top of the page Everything I need, I already have. Then make a list...that meets you, right where you are. (blessings, knowledge, skills, gifts, things). Lean in. You've got this. xx Kim Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence. – Eckhart Tolle

Don’t believe the storyteller, the voice of knowledge in your head, especially when the voice is going against you. Listen to yourself, listen to your story, but don’t believe it because the story you are writing is mostly fiction. It isn’t real. The lies in your story can only survive if you believe them. If you don’t believe them, they won't survive your skepticism and will simply disappear. — don Miguel Ruiz This week. I'm keeping it real and sharing the TRUTH about not showing up to the podcast each week. Hint... My brain has been running amuck. Let's check in Can you relate? Is there something you committed to doing, exploring... being... but 'quietly' just stopped? Ask the page, and see what comes up for you.  xx Kim p.s. Have you written your Tiny Little Miracle list? We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.' — Buddah

Every day that we wake us is a good day. Every breath that we take is filled with hope for a better day.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. —Harriet Tubman   The craziest dream is happening for me this week.

Oh my word, it's been such an amazing few weeks. Ups, downs, and in-betweens. But...wow...just wow... I'm feeling so blessed. Today's episode is inspired by Karen - one of the lovely WRITE life 10 & 1 students After reading Karen's note, I decided to bundle up the 5-day WRITE life class into this week's podcast episode. Here's the message Karen shared. Kim this course has been so amazing! I woke my husband up this morning after I'd been working on my 10 & 1 page and he said, "You're different. You're so.....happy! You look so beautiful." Oh, my heart! I told him I was going to save my pennies (even though we don't have them anymore lol) so I could sign up for Write Your Heart's Desire sometime in the future. When he got home from work he told me he'd figured out how we could afford it now. So....I'm signed up!! Can't wait to get started. The exercises this week have changed my whole outlook on my life. I can only imagine what WYHD will do for me. Thank you and God bless. So beautiful ... Right!  Ama
