Recently I met Natasha Evans on Instagram. She is the producer of The Planted Mindset Podcast. I was honored to be a guest on her podcast last week and had a wonderful time! If you’d like to listen here is the link.
Queen Anne’s Lace Anniversary
One year ago today, I took a leap.
The leap into the unknown. It was scary and exciting all at the same time. No one really knew I was going to do it except my husband and two friends.
The lessons I have learned from what I did:
🤜Don’t wait to do something you love.
🤜Believe in yourself. AND stopping listening to that little girl in your mind wearing the FEAR shirt. (please get her out of the driver’s seat)
🤜Your job is to put your art/gifts into the world. Your job is NOT to judge them, but to set them free. They will resonate with who they are supposed to.
🤜The more you “ship” your work/talents the easier it gets.
I am thankful that one year ago I published my first novel Queen Anne’s Lace. The paper manuscript of that novel sat for 12 years on my bookshelf. Finally, after encouragement from my friends and a lot of work to get past self doubt, I published. I highly recommend Seth Godin’s book Leap First.
Just like finding a old friend again, Writing and I have become the best of friends again. I am now writing my 4th full length novel and will publish more books in 2021 and continued to publish for the rest of my life. I thank everyone that has supported me through this journey.
BUT- I want YOU to know don’t wait on doing what you want to do, what you are called to do, and what you love to do — please DO IT!!!!
A Time of Growth
It is a strange time in our history. I have been taking this quarantine time to read, plant and write. It feels like growth. I recently found this quote: Sometimes when you’re in a dark place you think you’ve been buried, but actually you’ve been planted. Christine Caine
I’m not sure what you are doing to help yourself through this time, but I KNOW we will all be stronger for this. I thank you for reading this blog and my novels. Take care of yourself and your families.
I would love to hear from you! Join my email list or shoot me an email.
