I remember an Angel reading I got several years ago at a
conference that told me I was a writer.
She said I had a book I need to write and that I needed to get started
practicing my craft, even if it was only through journaling. I dismissed the idea since I’d never been a
big fan of journaling. I had tried journaling before, but it always left me feeling
like it was something I should enjoy but never found it particularly satisfying. Because I had dismissed the idea I put it out
of my mind and didn’t remember this reading until earlier this afternoon.
Last year when I began my Life Coaching certification
process I began writing answers for class and as part of that process I began
this blog. I discovered the joy I
receive in crafting the words and sharing my thoughts in this format. I found it very therapeutic in the way that pen
and paper never provided. For the first
time in my life I felt like I could claim the title “writer” even if I never
intended to publish a book.
This afternoon I was out with friends and we came across a
palm reader and decided to get a reading.
One of the things the palm reader mentioned was that I need to be
writing. She saw it as my life’s work. Suddenly the earlier reading popped into my
head and with my recent experience with blogging I felt more receptive to the idea. I still have no idea what I will be writing
about, but at least I didn’t just shrug it off.
This evening I was checking my email when I came across an invitation
to a workshop with a publisher for all perspective writers. I had to laugh when I saw the email because I
recognized it as a sign that I needed to pay attention this time. I love
how synchronicity works…a great reminder to pay attention, calling me back to
my path.
I figure it is time to get back to blogging,
making it a priority even while I’m busy with my new baby. I look forward to seeing my life unfold to
see what I wind up writing about.
