4 WAYS TO ESCAPE THE ILLUSION OF THE MIND PRISON
Upon awakening, it can be hard not to overthink what we are experiencing and receiving from research, spiritual experiences, others' energies, and what is currently taking place on our planet.

Become A Writer
“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.” ~ Stephen King I have always loved this quote. Not only is Stephen King one of my absolute favorite authors, but he is also a master storyteller. I aspired to be like Stephen King from a rather young age. Then I didn’t write. I didn’t write, and I didn’t grow as a writer. I would ask myself, “Why am I not making it as a writer?” But then I’d hear Stephen Kings voice telling me that if I want to be a writer I need to write, and to read. Not only was I not writing, but I pretty much quit reading. This is the worst kind of failure; the one that is in the realm of self-sabotage. I wasn’t making mistakes and learning from them. I was literally looking my dreams in the eyes and saying, not right now.

Power In Words We Hear
I woke up this morning and decided to write on Vocal. Not exactly sure of what I wanted to write about or even what the title would be, but I took the plunge, logged in, hoping that once I started the ideas will flow. But I just don't want to write about...scratch that. I have decided this new year to be more positive minded and focus more on the things I want, or like, and the things I expect, than to focus on things I hate, dislike or don't want. So I'm going to try to talk about good things.

How To Stay Powerful In A World That Says You’re Too Sensitive
In a world that rewards those who are the toughest and don’t take no for an answer, it can sometimes seem like a curse rather than a blessing to live with a sensitive soul. But take a moment to step back and look at things from a unique perspective, you’ll see that there is a power in being a sensitive person. There is a beautiful strength to experiencing your emotions deeper than most, and you should be proud of that.

Tracking Your Word Count Goals in Scrivener
Setting daily word count goals is a great way to get that first draft done. It’s basic math. Write 1,000 words a day and you’ll have a totally respectable first draft in just three months. Even if you only write 500 or 200 words a day, doing it consistently will get you to your goals. And so I love Scrivener’s Word Count tracker. With just a few clicks you set writing goals that work with your writing schedule to help you meet your own specific writing goals. Here’s how it works.

9 Habits That Make Or Keep You Poor
Being poor is not just about having no money in your life. It can also mean being poor in health, love, and happiness. The persistent lack of money or these other necessities of a comfortable living in a person's life is never something that happens by chance but an effect resulting from causes rooted in behavior and habits.

Seven Tips for Getting Up Early to Write (Even if You’re a Night Owl)
For many years, while I was working full time, I got up early to write before my kids woke up and things got hectic. As a die-hard night owl, adjusting to that schedule was rough. I’m not gunna lie. It took me a about eighteen months to settle in, but that was because I went about it all wrong.

The mind's imagination
I read a couple stories today on Vocal. Well, more than a couple. But two of them sparked an emotion I wanted to share. One that gave the writer’s personal opinions about who might win the latest LBB challenge, thank you Lili Jane. And The girl power tattoo, thank you Martina Dearing.

How we can all change the world, one flower at a time
There’s a slight misconception that runs through our mind. An idea that we can’t take hold and take charge of this ride we call life. It’s not really a feel good philosophy, but just a recognition of the truth. As individuals we interact with reality, and as a whole we make it come true.

A Letter to My Daughter
My Dearest One, This morning you woke up at 5:00 am, curls bouncing, mouth smiling, ready to start your day. This morning, your four-year-old self climbed out of bed and pitter-pattered to the kitchen, still dark, and sweetly asked for waffles and berries. As I prepared your breakfast, you sat on the couch flipping through one of your "comics" we borrowed from the library. I looked at you and wondered how it could be possible to be here, in this moment, with you.
