Richard Gervais said the more famous he became, the more pressure he put on himself to create something better than the last time. He started to focus on finding joy in the act of creating. Every morning he set that intention, and yes, he created good stuff, but a lot of it didn’t work. Oh, easy for Ricky, you say. But it’s not easy to stay playful. And in fact, the more you become known for something, the more pressure you put on yourself to be brilliant. You will not let yourself fail. And so today, let’s find some joy in exploring your own thoughts, your own ideas, the pleasure of even being bad at writing. If you suck at something, you are learning. Dare to suck is my motto. October 17th-Nov 30. Save $30 until October 1st!! Link in bio! #writersofinstagram #dailylifewriting #writerslife #instawinelover #50pluslife #motivationoftheday #quotestoliveby #dailylifelessons

Where Does Joy Live? Joy is not a state we enter a

Where Does Joy Live? Joy is not a state we enter after we get through a difficult time. It’s the capacity to note the beauty and experience joy alongside the suffering. In a story from Eastern philosophy, an enlightened woman is being chased by wolves, and suddenly she sees a chasm that will lead to her death, but she has two difficult choices. Get attacked by wolves or jump. So, she jumps and, on the way, down she sees a beautiful red thing and says, “Oh, a strawberry.” And pops it into her mouth before the end. I think that might be a bit much. But often, people reach for the beautiful in the middle of a horrible situation. Some small act of love and kindness grows up through the cement. When I was younger, I thought joy would come in enlightenment. And then I’d do my nails and sit on a cloud and direct traffic for the rest of you humans. But, now I know differently. Joy comes out of the suffering. A flower that grows where it shouldn’t—an act of kindness that grows up in the midst of the desert. The Dalai Lama wrote the Book of joy And he said, there are eight pillars of joy! Perspective, Humility, Humour, Acceptance, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Compassion, Generosity. So these qualities are the very essence of joy! Which quality did the gal who was falling have when she ate the strawberry have? You could pick one or two for sure. But on Sunday, this will be the focus of our creative writing session. Join me! Sept 19th, 10-12:30 for a very special writing class called The Joy of Writing. Sliding scale $50-$100 to get energized and get your practice going again! #selfcareissacred #selfcareishealthcare #selfcareisnotselfish #selfcarerevolution #selfcarecoach #selfloveclub #selflovefirst #teamself #writersofinstagram #dailylifewriting #writerslife #writingcommunity #selfcare101 #selfcareisntselfish #selfcareformoms #findingjoy

Someone needs to hear your story! You're looking ahead and see the road ahead is shorter than the road behind you, but let's face it—that road behind you was interesting! Your experiences and life journey have made you who you are, and you have a story to tell! If you've wanted to write a memoir or even capture some of the highlights of your life for your family or future generations, I can help! Writing can be intimidating, but I've developed a system that will help you conquer your fears—and your excuses—and we'll have fun doing it together!

Everyone is living a story you have no idea about.

Everyone is living a story you have no idea about. During a writing workshop I gave at Centennial College, I was doing an exercise demonstrating how powerful the “taste” sense can be when writing! I had brought in a bag of gummy bears and was going to give each student one gummy worm so they could write about what they felt when they tasted the candy. When I reached the plastic tongs into the paper bag, I looked over and saw the stoic Nigerian man at the back start to cry. After the timed writing, he told us that when he saw me put the tongs in the paper bag, he was flooded with memory. This is what he told us, “I was born in a refugee camp, where I lived until he was twelve years of age. There was never enough food. I was always hungry. I had flashbacks of Wednesdays. Wednesdays were when the Red Cross would come and bring candy to the kids in the camp. When I saw the Red Cross with their paper bags and plastic tongs, I would start running toward the Aid workers. At first, I would be delighted at the idea of getting a treat. Then I thought about how I had to get two or three pieces for my little brothers and sisters. Then I would be given candy and I had to tighten my fist around the candies and run so I wouldn’t be beaten by other bigger kids. And often it would be stolen from me before I got back to my mom and my brothers and sisters. But some days I did make it and I had to cut it into small pieces to share it with his brothers and sisters and it was so sweet. It didn’t save us from being hungry but occasionally it was oh so sweet.” This is why I love teaching memoirs. Want to join me for a pop-up zoom writing class? It's a sliding scale of $50 - $100.
