Get Guidance and Reveal Solutions By Writing from Source


A power rests within each of us. When we tap into this power, answers to our questions and solutions to our problems become revealed. I use writing to tap into this power.

Through my years of journaling, I have called this power by different names. Intuition. Muse. Inner Voice. Inner Guide The Universe. Spirit. God. Creative Genius.  You may call your power by yet another name.  

The word that I find all-encompassing is Source. When I am tapping into the power within me through writing, I call that process Writing from Source. And it’s amazing!

While writing from source, I use a variety of approaches. Sometimes I converse with Source. Other times I follow prescribed exercises to reveal insights that lead to guidance, understanding and solutions.  Whatever the approach, Writing from Source always brings me peace of mind.

During this holiday season, I am sharing Writing from Source with all who care to discover its benefits through a free teleseminar series. This is a time of year when so many of us face challenging situations around money, loss, melancholy, relationships and obligations. You can get guidance on how to move through these issues through Writing from Source.

Come join me on Tuesdays November 16 through December 28 and Survive the Angst, Stress and Sadness of the Holiday Season with the Guidance and Solutions Revealed When Writing from Source.  Attend all the Tuesdays you can.

Why Bother To Have A Coach?

When I first heard about coaching 10 years ago, I wondered why all the buzz? Why would I pay someone to do what I ought to be able to do for myself?

I soon discovered why when I won a series of free sessions at a conference. I remember being awestruck time and again by my responses to exercises and questions. Many times words like these tumbled out of my mouth: “I didn’t realize how important that (goal, thing, person) is to me!”

Since discovering the value of coaching during that initial experience, I have regularly signed on for 1:1 and group coaching for different personal and professional goals.

Now, I also coach. My clients are writers. During each 5-week series, I have watched their writing creativity and expertise notably improve, even soar. As a coach, I facilitate their progress, but it’s their commitment to their intentions, goals and dreams that makes it happen.

Here are some of the benefits I have personally experienced by having a coach:
  • Accountability to someone else to meet my personally-scheduled deadlines
  • A nonjudgmental, compassionate listener
  • Giving “voice” to my goals by stating them out loud to another person
  • Being able to ask “dumb” questions without feeling embarrassed
  • Valuing my professional growth by investing in it
  • 1:1 access to the knowledge and expertise of a professional
What has been your experience with coaching? I’d love to know. If you have questions about coaching, send them my way. I’ll do my best to answer them. (You can send your comments and questions below.)
