After a nearly 4 year writing hiatus, I feel I’ve sufficiently gotten back into the saddle. I am in the editing stages of one book, and had inspiration to begin writing a new romance. In the last two days, I’ve completed over 5000 words. If you’re an author, you know how big of an accomplishment that can be in a short period.
Despite some of the rough patches of the past few months, it’s wonderful to feel my writing mojo return. Creatively, I’ve put my effort into other pursuits, and my physical recovery from two surgeries in two years was first and foremost. In fact, I’ve become to feel like healing and taking care of my body is a full time job.
I’m not sure we realize what our bodies go through when we have a surgery, major illness or injury. It takes more time than we think to recover, and the past few months have shown me that I had a ways to go even though I thought I was past it. I began to have physical issues that didn’t seem right. So far, nothing major, but it’s taught me that listening to my body is the most important thing.
The body shouldn’t be ignored. Nor do I give my power to anyone else about it. I know my body best, and even though I’m learning to interpret the messages (I don’t get them right all of the time), I’m discovering what certain things mean as I go. My personal rolodex of information is growing exponentially by the day! Our bodies are a powerful physical tool that help us maintain our health in body, mind, and spirit. They broadcast out and receive energy. We may wonder what we are receiving if we don’t know what we are broadcasting out.
At times, it was difficult not to feel like a failure as an author. I had no energy to put into writing pursuits for what felt like an eternity. But in that time, I’ve come into my own with my abilities, and I no longer feel I need to keep all my “identities” separate from each other. I’m an author, Qigong & Baguazhang instructor, clairvoyant alchemist, voice over artist, and so much more. I can do things now I haven’t been able to do in a while, and it’s all because I started listening to my body and the messages it sends.
With gratitude, I thank each and every person who purchases my books. It’s always cool to see another sale, and I look forward to publishing new material in the New Year. Happy Holidays and best wishes to everyone!
