Writing Just To Write

Thoughts on a piece of paper, writing with no rhyme or reason simply to get in the groove of writing is good practice.
Feeling the keys under my fingers while watching the letters become words, words become sentences, sentences soon to hopefully be paragraphs in the chapters of a new book.

Writing Hat is part of this Wearer of Many Hats, some of these Hats are adventurous, some serious, some colorful, and some even funny.
The Hats express their own feelings through the writer as words are typed, stories are told and experiences are lived and shared.

My latest Hat is as the manager of a mobile home park. This Hat in itself can take on several different shapes, styles and colors depending on the moment, the event, the day and even the mood of the wearer.

Soon these typed thoughts, events and daily adventures became a second book in this writer’s life.
Well the soon really took a year span but none the less “Managing a Mobile Home Park and Living Amongst Its Characters” was finally published on August 30th.

A person can play many characters in a life span, thus the wearing of so many Hats. Writing about these Hats, what you know and what you’ve learned so far, is a great way to share with others and leave a legacy.

It's never too late to Go for Your Dreams

You will never know what you can do or accomplish until you try.
Believe in yourself, set fears aside, take small action steps and Go for Your Dreams.

and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,
he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”~ Henry David Thoreau

Find Your Inner Peace

Having had several stressful days at work and feeling a cold coming on, I soon realized that I needed to take a step back, find my inner peace and be in the moment.

When you feel some form of stress in your daily life it will affect your mind, your body and your overall wellness.
You need to take a deep breath, look within your mindset and your heart to find that inner peace again.

Using a variation of activities is very helpful in changing and even removing the stress level in life while giving a new mindset and renewed mindfulness:

Decluttering - A closet, a drawer, a desk, getting rid of excess "stuff" helps make life clearer and simpler.
Gardening - Weeding, planting even watering can put the mind in a different frame
Walking - A long walk especially in nature is relaxing and mind clearing
Helping Others - Helping a person or a cause will take your mind away from yourself
Doing something you love - Taking time out to create, write, listen to music or even quietly read
Escaping - It's OK to be a little selfish and get away by yourself even if it's just for a little while

Be present and learn how to be more mindful in all your daily activities not always an easy task but worth practicing.
Today I started by taking the day off, doing some closet decluttering and then sat quietly to write.
Starting with something more physical and moving on to something more relaxing works for me and helps me find my renewed inner peace.
You need to find what works best for you and bring you back to the person you want to be in that moment.

I welcome any questions, sharing or comments you may have.

Challenging your Comfort Zone

Writing Hat

Pretty much everyone has a comfort zone and stepping out of this zone can be challenging and even stressful at times.

I definitely stepped out of my own comfort zone recently by publishing my first book on Amazon, "Ages and Stages".

Each step of the publishing process was actually a small step outside of my comfort zone. I guess one can say that they were gradual baby steps, one step at a time that came to their destination as a finished published book.

From the time I was a child I wanted to write a book always having so many ideas and titles running through my head.

Being that grammar was not one of my strong subjects in school, math and art were more my speed. That said, for years I lacked the confidence to write anything. I know that the many books I've read and the blogs I've written through the years have helped built my English skills and my confidence to become an author.

About three years ago, I finally decided to try my hand at writing. The idea for this book actually came from my adult children, as they wanted me to express what I had learned through my many decades so "Ages and Stages" was born. The more I wrote the less I felt outside of my comfort zone.

Of course publishing a book is more than writing it. There is editing, proofreading, formatting, the book cover, the actual publishing and finally the marketing, leaving more zones to be conquered.
I managed to overcome most of these publishing zones by reading, learning, applying and reaching out to others for help.

Please check back later, as I plan on doing a few follow up blogs on the different steps I took to finally publish my book on Amazon.

If you have a chance to read Ages and Stages, a review would be much appreciated.

Each zone that we tackle and conquer in life can become our new comfort zone, as it is no longer a mystery, a challenge or even a scary door to walk through.

I welcome any questions, sharing or comments you may have.
