The other day I was in a moment of gratitude and thanked a friend for their hand in how this goodness came to me. They replied, “Don’t thank me, remember it starts with YOU.”
I’ve been thinking about this statement.
The creative drive is within us all. Some call that a nudge or a wink. Others call it the muse. Whatever you call it, honor it. Because chances are if God plants a creative seed in your heart, you will not rest easy until you nurture it.
I have a personal story to share. In 2015, my son Doug reminded me that I used to write poems about his class at the end of every elementary school year. I had forgotten about that side of myself, but the recovery began almost instantaneously—and I started writing poetry again.
After a fulfilling and fun four years, I have made the decision to transition from Gluten Free Sage to solely writing poetry. I have loved every second of it and am incredibly grateful, as Gluten Free Sage is what opened me to writing and creating things I love in the first place.
In celebration of the upcoming holidays, I’m running a Goodreads self-care book giveaway where you can register to win one of 5 copies of Gluten Free Soul Pilot, my new guide to healthful, inspired living! The entry period began on Oct 29, 2018 and ends on Nov 12, 2018.
April is National Poetry Month and to celebrate and encourage children’s interest in poetry, I’m running a Goodreads giveaway where you can register to win one of 10 copies of my illustrated poetry book White Wild Indigo! The entry period begins on Apr 15, 2018 and ends on May 10, 2018.
