It has been a long while since I have written in this blog. I have been writing - every day, but I have been writing on the iPad that I received for Christmas last year and using a wonderful app called My Writing Spot. I promised to write every day, no matter what. So that is what I have done for the past year.
A year ago, I attended a writer's workshop with Kathleen MacGowan, author of The Expected One and several other beautiful, amazing books. I have connected with Kathleen over Facebook and appreciate her work and her presence. The nugget that I received from The Writer's Grail workshop was that to be a writer, one has to write. Period. Kathleen and Philip's suggestion was to write, even for 5 minutes, every day. EVERY day. So I made that commitment, and for the past year (the workshop was a year ago this past weekend and when I received the book, The Source of Miracles, also by Kathleen and mentioned in my blog from last December) I have written. Every day I write. It is just what I do. No matter what. It is my sacred daily practice.
I am a writer. I write...therefore, I am a writer.
I am also in the midst of a very profound journey with my business and partnership with Life Force, and WOW- Wo/men Owning Wealth. I have stepped into leadership, residual income, and wealth in a way that I have not done before. It feels like a journey very similar to that of the Camino...they actually reflect one another beautifully.
I saw that my last blog was written in February and I shared about my decision to become a conscious network marketer. It has actually expanded greatly from that - I actually practice Sacred Commerce in partnership with an amazing community of women and men, WOW, and Life Force. I experience the structure of this business of network marketing more as a collaborative business model that is an infinite series of connected and interrelated concentric circles. Core to these concentric circles is a profound spiritual and evolutionary path that we each step on to when we step into this business. To grow and expand in this business is to be on a sacred path that ultimately brings us home to ourselves - to the highest, biggest, brightest, best version of who we each truly are.
I am totally committed to this path of Sacred Commerce, and right now, it demands most of my attention and time. I am committed to creating financial freedom for myself and my family while supporting others to have the same opportunity for health and wealth as I do, and it is my focus and highest priority commitment right now. Why do I even need to write this right now?
Because I had made a commitment to write my book on the first leg of my journey with the Celtic Camino this winter, and as I began to really settle into that task, I realized that my focus is on building a business, not writing a book. I can write every day, but can I write an indepth book and build a rapidly transforming business at the same time? Do I really want to?
My commitment is to write. I am a writer. But is my commitment right now to write a book?
Out of this question, I realized that I wanted to return to this blog. I like writing here. I feel as though I am writing to someone. When I write to "write a book", I write differently. I feel like I am not so much in a relationship, and so I become more concerned about the wording, how I say it, does it sound right? Here, I write, and know that if I need to fill in some details with research, etc., I can and I will and I will come back to it. When I write a book, I feel like I have to have it all right there the first time. Here, it feels intimate and more like a sharing and connecting from the heart.
So, today I return to this blog and share my ongoing Camino journey, and how my life and work at home reflect each other. It comes down to this for me, and in Sue Kenney's words: When the Camino ends, the journey begins.''
My life, all of our lives, are a sacred and profound journey. This is my invitation to you - to live your life as a sacred journey, woven together by your sacred dreams, sacred partnerships, sacred sexuality, sacred commerce, and sacred purpose.
Buen Camino!
