Spirit Driven

OK this is the first post. I know I am driven by spirit. How and why I know is that I had not written anything up to my book. When I wrote my book the words came to me and just flowed. For some time I really worried about getting it edited. A friend of mine Lorraine started that daunting task for me. She would read then ask me questions. Karen how do you know and can you emphasize a little more about this paragraph. She was handled my manuscript probably more than she ever wanted to see it. Yet she would smile at me and tell me how amazing I was.

I submitted my book and got a call from my now publisher. She said this is your first book isn't it. My reply was yes. She said I got with my editor and you might see a lot of red marks but don't worry you have the final say. I got my manuscript back and it was loaded with so many red marks I did not know where to start. I started talking myself out of this. You know, the what was I thinking writing a book. What do I know? Why did I even try? Sitting there at the computer I heard this small voice in me. It said why did you really write this book? My answer was to help people. Then what is stopping you it said. I read and reread it. I made changes and changed it again. Now here it is before you in book form. I truly hope it helps you in some way.

I sit in the morning with my journal in my hand and get very still and start the day the same way with the same sentences. The words in my journal always start with Good Morning. What will I manifest today? What are the possibilities? To start your day with the intent to listen is a wonderful thing. There are so many opportunities to listen to your heart and soul. Ways to pour out to you what you need to hear. Stillness and calmness first thing always puts you in a better state for your day. We all have the exact same amount of hours in the day. It is what you do with them that can make them meaningful or dreaded.

I still have a lot to learn and I hope there will always be people out there in this world that will give me a hand up instead of a kick down. I hope that I will be able to give a hand up to the people who need it. I am learning to be a facilitator for the simple reason that if I enable people I feel unable to be satisfied with the results that I look to accomplish.

I want to thank all that I have talked to in my travels with this book. My words have meaning now so I write from my heart and soul. I think they have the best meaning anyway. You can choose your thoughts just like you choose the clothes you wear. Make it count and choose well.
