MOVING ON

" The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not to react."
-- Gloria Anzaldua


Previously I shared some writing tools and prompts to help you get into a daily writing routine. I know it was a challenge and I hope that many of you were able to stick with it and move through it. Accepting a challenge and reaching a goal gives one a sense of wonder and accomplishment. How great is it to say to yourself, " I did it!" Wow!

Today I'd like to encourage you to write about Moving On...
Think about your life and your present circumstances:
  • Where are you stuck?
  • Where do you need to go?
  • What do you need to leave behind?
  • How will you move on?
This is a wonderful exercise for free flow writing.
Set a timer for 10 min. for each question.
Pick up your pen and start writing.
Do not stop or lift up your pen.
Don't worry about grammar.
Don't even think about what you are writing...just write.

When you are finished with all four questions, read your writing out loud.
Celebrate what you have written.
At another time you can rewrite this exercise in a clear organized fashion using good grammar, punctuation, and creativity.

This exercise will prove to be enlightening, motivating, and energizing.
This may be a catalyst to help you make some major or minor changes in your life or to help you move forward to reach your dreams and goals.

GOD'S BLESSING ON YOUR HEART, MIND AND PEN!

"It is good to have an end to journey forward;
but it is the JOURNEY that matters in the end."
--Ursula K Leguin
