When I was in elementary school, I was taught to title my short stories and reports after I was finished writing them. Younger me resented this, because coming up with the title was my favorite part. But time and time again, I found that if I didn’t heed my teacher’s lesson, that I would find myself stuck; staring blankly at the paper in front of me. However, if I just allowed myself to start writing, by the time I’d finished, the paper had titled itself. I was also taught to absolutely never, under any circumstances, start a sentence with “and”. And so I do, yo soy rebelde.
I find myself stuck on my own title a lot; it’s something that has kept me from creating and connecting in my life. Sometimes it feels like there are two speakers playing in my head at once, “Imagine” by John Lennon is playing on one and “Only a Fool Would Say That” by Steely Dan is playing on the other. I listen to both songs, and I love both songs; but I feel unresolved. Being within this human experience means to know the spectrum of everything that can go wrong and the possibilities of what can be, and that’s overwhelming. It’s like trying to surf at one of those indoor surfing stations at waterparks, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, do yourself a favor and look it up.
I have a habit of staying stuck at the beginning of an experience, before diving into it. Do you know what I mean by that? I have let the fear of what could go wrong, override the possibilities of what could go right. It’s a snare that I set and catch myself in, over and over again; and a pattern I’m doing my best to improve. It has been years since I’ve written and connected online, but my clients and gentle nudges from my intuition are an encouraging and confirming invitation to try.
The intention behind sharing in a blog, is to give a voice to the creative within me who loves to write. I love to study astrology and compare planetary transits to the messages that I receive from Spirit; and plan on sharing energy updates within this space.
As always, I would love to hear from you and connect. Please feel free to reach out to me via email at wisconsinmedium@gmail.com
Until next time, take care.
