a bit more on a Monday

WEEK 107 - POST 2

So where I am today?  That last post was getting a bit long in terms of how I feel and how things are going in general.  In some moments it feels like things are starting to roll along nicely but in others there are still major gaps and places I need to take a bigger leap.

This weekend, I worked on some of my business coaching exercises and I know I said that these have helped me see where my talents lie.  Today I really DID feel like a writer as it took me just an hour to write a 750 word article.  And I did a bit of editing afterwards, but for the most part I liked it as it was written.  I want more things to flow like this.

I still haven't cleaned my office (or gotten to any other room to start purging) but I did do some great work Friday for my part-time job.  It feels manageable and the deliverables aren't stressing me out. I also write a long email to a new friend/accountability partner.  I actually sent off my first "freebie" to have her look at it - whew!  That's a big leap.  Also (with my business coach) I wrote four small steps that I could do to start moving towards bigger things.  So things are still moving forward even when they don't feel like it.

Even writing to her and explaining my reasoning really helped solidify in my mind what I am offering and what I'd life to focus on.  And this morning I pulled a card that had a WORD on it, the exact word that I had added to my business tag line on Friday.  WHOA.  DEEP BREATH.  The Universe is listening.

I was hoping to write the article on the weekend (as the deadline had been end of day Friday and I thought first thing Monday would be OK also).  But it didn't happen.  The good thing was, that I took care of myself.  I slowed down, I napped, I read, I enjoyed a short bike ride, I took a bath, I sat out in the garden and I ate and visited with friends.  We also went for a walk to the local drug store after dinner Sunday night.  And I want to do more of that.  More of the simple life please.

And then on Monday morning, I wrote the article with no major problems.

A life well lived, if I do say so myself.
