The holidays are a time to gather with those you love, exchange gifts, and tap into a joy that seems to hang in the air.
I hope you won’t let this holiday season be any different. And, if you are surrounded by contention of any kind, I hope you will let it go, pull your energy inward, and remember that holiness happens when you feel relaxed and whole.
Naturally, tumultuous times can take us out of ourselves. And although, it’s not a bad idea to reach out to others from time to time, this is a time of year when we are all called within, no matter what is going on in the outside world.
Trying to maintain a frenetic pace–a slew of parties, travels to far-away gatherings, and the hustle and bustle of this season–is in opposition to the sacred energy of the holiday season. So it’s up to us to keep our balance by making happy, healthy choices, whatever that means to us.
I hope you can use the holidays to ground and center yourself in your creative endeavors. Everything I do and everything I have created are geared towards helping writers thrive despite the moans and groans of the outside world.
We may as well acknowledge that being a writer in a hyper-social world is challenging. And yet, this is a challenge we can meet. You can develop the focus and concentration of a master whether you are a novice, an intermediate or a veteran. Once you develop the ability to focus and concentrate, can you write your way through chaotic times.
So, these are our chaotic times. Let’s write our way through them!
These are my heartfelt holiday gifts for you. I hope you will add them to your personal wish lists.
