Unleash Your Creativity

Maybe it made you stop singing when other people are around, or you dropped out of your favourite club in school so that you could fit in, you don’t dance as much as you would truly like to,

The same can be said about writing. It can be absolutely terrifying to have someone else read our words. It’s easier to just not write at all, even when the words are not meant for anyone but you.

Here’s the truth, the first draft of 5 Element Alchemy was absolute crap. Actually it was a dumpster fire and was more like two books in one. It had no direction and I have no idea how my editor made it through to even critique it.

She’s a professional, so of course she did. She gave me notes and I basically started over with my “second draft”, and my writing improved.

Through the process of writing I became a writer.

I learned so much about myself and who I was. I confronted old stories I carried about the beliefs I had about me writing and wanting others to read my words.

As a result I began to trust myself and what I wanted to say. I developed confidence that my words had meaning and would matter to someone else if they choose to read my book or my blog or even just a quick anecdote that I post on my Instagram feed.

I opened myself up to the potential that writing could be a crucial element in my ability to connect to my authentic self and a practice that allows me to drop in to hear my heart over my head.

What ever myths or stories you have about what it means to be someone who writes in whatever form you like to write in.

Essay, Poem, Song Lyrics, Jokes, One long run on sentence.

They’re not true.

Your words are for you.

Write to get to know yourself.

I promise the journey will be worth while.

Even if you don’t know what you want to write. Not to worry, that’s what the prompts are for.

If you want to experience support and community as you redefine your relationship to your words, join me.

We officially kick off the Sacred Words tomorrow, however there is already medicine waiting for you.
