Writer's Block?!


According to Webster, the definition for writer's block is a psychological inhibition preventing a writer from proceeding with a piece.

That is what I've been experiencing for the last few weeks. I had planned a series of posts, recorded my thoughts and then...nothing. I couldn't
sit down to write. Something always came up. Family, work, illness, something.

A friend asked me why I had not posted, and being the forthright soul I am, I had to admit to her that I did not post because I was afraid.

You see a few years ago, I read a book that made a profound impact on my life. It was called Write it Down, Make it Happen: Knowing What you Want and Getting It. This book spoke to me about clarity and acknowledged goals, and how writing them down, announced to the Universe in no-uncertain terms. "I'm ready!"

Oh Boy!. My series of posts were about choice and change. I was certain that if I put the fingers to the keyboard I was headed down the track to live my own words.

Was I ready? Yeah...sort of.

Did I mean it? Most definitely.

But could I live it? I mean really, in the face of everyone. And I do mean everyone. This girl has told most of the free world that I am not a self-published writer,"so to speak" and invited them to read what goes on in my mind.

Would someone call me on my attempts? Would I have to defend my journey? Could I ?

Most assuredly.

Yes, I wanted someone to call me on my attempts, how better to share what I was learning and invite a fellow traveler to come along on the journey.

Yes, I could and would defend my journey, because there are lions, tigers and bears out there and in here (better known as doubt, fear and unbelief), and I needed to be aware so that I could/would make it through.

When I got through with this bit of soul searching I knew that the time was right. The dam was broken!

My new series and I are now a right fit, and I can bring it to the light with confidence. These new posts are not just theories to me, but truths that I recognize as I am living them every day.

What does this have to do with money and moving from poverty(mindedness) to a prosperity and wealth consciousness? At first, I didn't know. Maybe that is why I couldn't write about it. But continued thought and just looking on the inside has made some things very clear to me.

In a moment, you will see what I mean...
