Don't Lose Your Readers (An Anthology)

These are lines that stuck out to me when reading a book called Wild Mind, Living the writers life. By, Natalie Goldberg. (Part 14)

You'll lose your reader if you are vague, not clear, & not present. I had to slow down, be specific & speak the truth. ( This is true & It's what I have to do when telling my story.)

I was so scared not to be a writer that I wrote all the time. ( Relatable because I felt that I had no time to be a writer but I couldn't stop the compulsion to write. Now I have stories forever & am creating more.)

A novel is a big dream, a whale of a dream. You have to go under for a long time into the dark waters of the mind & stay there... (Books don't just happen they are written)

I had to leave myself, my will & control, & let the story come through me. I had to become egoless. ( I am working on becoming this to tell my story properly)

I was afraid of that egoless state where nothing was happening. I thought I existed only when I created activities, universes & dreams. ( I am learning as I sit and type this that it is ok for me to exist in an egoless state.)

We make up anything so we don't just have to be there face to face. (I've felt like this plenty of times)

Finding Self PT 10 (Watch Me Flow)

After the injury everything changed. Being laid up like that with no help. I had to hobble to the market only to be ran over by crowds of people that I couldn't keep up with. Being left by the Lyft because the driver couldn't figure out how to come around the corner. Just feeling helpless, abandoned and stranded. Feelings like this will put things in a different perspective really fast. Some people out there have major support and people around to help when things get tough and some people simply just don't. For me I'm one of the one's that don't but I find that strangers are always kinder to me than my own family who is by society's standards supposed to be our first safety net & supporters. N-E-how being laid up like that and alone I had more uninterrupted time to think than I ever did in my life. Self reflection questions that I never even thought of started to pop into my mind. The first one was career wise. The question was ...

A Fabulous Personal Home Assistant

Being a Personal Home Assistant is more than just a job to me. It's a peaceful and satisfying experience that I look forward to with each appointment booked. When I walk into a client's home, I take pride in knowing that I'm not just cleaning their space, but also making their lives comfortable & more enjoyable. There's something about the feeling of a clean home that just makes everything better. And when my clients are happy with my work, it makes me happy too! It's a sense of accomplishment that one can't quite describe. I know that some people might think that being a cleaning person is a menial job, but I see it as so much more than that. It's about taking care of people's homes & when you do it with professionalism as well as confidence, it becomes something truly special. My clients trust me with their homes & their belongings; I take that responsibility seriously. It's not just about cle...
