@Erica Love and I had a great call today... 🗨️ I asked her what success looks like - a year from now: 🤗 Success feels like having written & published her book (maybe with Red Thread Publishing). Obstacle: 🤗"Who wants to read what I have to share?" more of a doubt/fear than a real question. 🗨️ I recommended she listen to this meditation to connect with WHO NEEDS HER MESSAGE Erica: 👇 Please share in the comments 👇 what you got from the conversation & what your takeaways/action steps will be.

As we write ✍🏼 it is invaluable to have a clear sense of who you are writing for. You may not meet them ... Ever ... Or for a while, but strive to have a clear vision of who needs your story. Review the core message framework in the Writing 101 course in the classroom... And watch the Red Thread meditation.... 🪷🕉️ (pic. Me with a dear friend @Carolyn Kaufman & my second book, Date Yourself.)

❌Problem: People say they want to write a book, but life gets in the way. ✅ Solution: We create a structured accountability that keeps you writing, NO excuses. 📌 Strategy #1: The “Book Contract” Commitment: Sign Your BOOK Pledge: 1. Write this out by hand: “I will write my book this year. No more waiting.” 2. Sign it ✍️ 3. Post a pic of your Pledge in the comments.... 4. Put your copy somewhere you will see it 3x times a day. This works because **(Psychology hack: commitment increases follow-through.)**Here for the Win!🏆 Note about signing... ⁉️ ✍️ Create an ⭐Author AUTOGRAPH⭐.... how you will sign books... *** not how you sign contracts/cheques 🔖** This is for security & privacy. Also, get practicing autographing books so you are ready when asked. 📚

Day 1: I sat in silence I drafted an impromptu poem I journaled a bit I listened to an audiobook I snacked on cheese & crackers I did nearly nothing tonight ***What I want to share is there is still some guilt about resting/ vegging out and "accomplishing" nothing. I'm aware of it but also aware it part of what I'm here to do. Feeling: "I should have done more. I should have done better." Noticing how deep the resistance to rest is imbedded... Overriding this cultural programming. More updates coming tomorrow. 😴💤😴💤😴🥱 Day 2: (see more pics) Slept well Early morning guided meditation ( dr Joe dispensa, en español) Cozy slippers ☕ Coffee & fruit Journaling Breakfast 🥞 🍳 Ready to look at my draft📜📝 Midmorning: Learning by reading my own words. "Meaningful rest is a deliberate practice of slowing down to prepare your body, mind and spirit for the work to cone. It's an act of rebellion in our over scheduled world, to rest deeply without guilt. But rest is not a luxury -- it's a skill and a necessity." - from my drafted manuscript. 💥 Boom 🤯 Pm. Out for lunch & and a cheeky margarita. ( I don't drink much, just playing with it ) Read my entire manuscript. Red pen style. So excited to implement the edits.... After a shower 🚿 & a nap. Then it's ready for the editor ( final edit) week. Exciting. + Terrified. = Excitified DAY 3 Am Meditation. 🧘🏼‍♀️ Shower 🚿 Integrate edits✍🏼💥 🚖 Drive home ☎️ Meetings & Calls ...

Our very own @Carolina Cifuentes inaugurated the FEMTECH conference today in Medellin Colombia. It was profound. Beautiful. Impactful. She did an incredible job and held the attention of the entire room for an hour. She brought me... And many others to tear. We were all changed. Do honored to have been in the room. So proud of here. So grateful she works with me to support our authors. What does your future hold?
