Why is it easier to give advice then to listen to your own. Here I am helping others with motivation, inspiration, a helping hand…whatever it takes to get somebody going and living their dreams. Of course, coaching, mentoring is part of my overall vision and dreams too. But, we all have personal dreams which sometimes we set aside in order to be there for others. Whether we do it to maintain our financial responsibilities or because we’re needed.It comes a time when we look back and see unfinished work. Work that is crying out and calling for completion.
I am talking about the novel which I started writing over a decade ago. This book is not just a fictional story but a nostalgic and sometimes exuberant view at many aspects of my life‘s journey. An excursion which has all the facets of life, death and rebirth. A story that my soul needs to tell.
I would like to share with you an overview of the tale in question. Let me know what you think, how you feel about it. Does it grab your attention? I’m a writer open to the vulnerability of the critique.
The following is a very brief synopsis of Eternal Gift-Immortal Love ã
JENNIFER ROGERS a writer is compelled to start journaling after a series of events develop which test her life and her very own sanity.
The first time she met LOUIS DE NOIRE at a Club in Hollywood, California it felt as if her deepest fantasy had become real. Her first encounter with Louis left a mark which she could never erase. Though Jennifer was married at the time, unhappily so–she could not betray her vows. An innocent walk and light conversation carved its way into her heart. Because of her high moralistic ethics she had no choice but to keep the encounter as a blissful and unforgettable memory which someday would fade away.
Soon after her divorce, her life became a kaleidoscope of coincidental experiences. Louis started showing up at a distance, making himself a part of her new life’s landscape. He was observing from afar how she was growing as a person and developing her psychic gifts. After her divorce it was clear she had open herself up to explore more freely many spiritual paths and had an insatiable hunger for life and knowledge.
Louis finally felt she was ready for their true meeting. He entered her home, her life and her heart. He felt she was ready to accept who he was, what he was and who they were to each other in a past life.
What will happen, how will it end? Will this be a happily ever after romance or an unexplainable roller coaster ride full of suspense with paranormal and mystical experiences at every dark turn?
If you want to be one of the first to know the answers contact me and I’ll keep you posted of the books development and unveiling.
Sharing the writing of this novel with my writing clients, students and friends is my own way to keep accountable. It all starts with a thought, a dream then focused direction and a plan–but creation doesn’t happen until it is written.
Keep on writing! I am writing right along with you.

Change it’s such a wonderful thing. I know you’re thinking–I’m off a little. Most people fear change but, to me change is an opportunity to grow. To flow if you will with the currents of life.
When I look at an Astrological chart I see it as a road map to life. A physical graph that shows abilities, challenges, opportunities and all those things that brought us this time around to our present existence. But, as the directors of our own motion picture which we call life, we’re entitled to make changes until the final curtain goes down. We’re in charge and we need to pay attention to the direction of the Universe. This way we work with the forces and the Powers that Be, rather then against them. I guess we can say we’re co-directing in a way but because of our Will we have the final say and we get to yell “Cut.â€
In my own on-going saga I call my creative business I cannot allow myself to get stuck in any one place for long. One must learn to adapt to the currents, trends and interests of others along with the seasonal opportunities that may come our way. And make sure we catch the wave before it passes us by. When dealing with products we must stay way ahead, always preparing before the actual event or activity.
Staying adaptable is a gift, it’s continually meditating on the Temperance card of the Tarot almost on a daily basis. It’s about finding the balance between what we want to do and what is needed of us to be done. It is a constant change and fine tuning to the energies that show up. It’s about honing into the intuition that shows us a way to create and not be so stuck in the logical rigid path that we may have drawn in the past.
Like the ocean with its ever present ebb and flow we must learn to guide our lives with the constant fluctuation of our emotions. Been creative makes us a little more in tune to those forces and therefore we must allow ourselves to be open to their cause and effect.
Being a Gemini, I have never been too rigid as to my direction. I feel and therefore I think. An Air sign is all about thinking and in this existence in order to bring abundance is about translating that creative energy and thoughts or visions into tangible objects or services that can be used, viewed or be of benefit to others.
Correlate your abilities and gifts with the needs of your client base. In the business word this could be considered studying the trends in the market. In my world is create what they want. Listen to the clientele, ask about what they like or what they need. Always pay attention. It comes down to been aware to those around you. You can’t be creative and live your life in a vacuum. You never know when the Muse is going to come around. Even though the creative process itself is a solitary path, one needs to integrate and communicate with others in order to recognize their needs and desires.
The challenge of change is quieting the mind and been aware at the same time. Clear your thoughts and let the chatter subside then listen within to what your intuition is saying. When you pay attention in this manner you will feel the emotional and physical changes within you which will direct you on the right path. Don’t panic, always remember whichever path you chose can always be re-directed when a new fork on the road appears.
Now, embark on your wonderful creative path and enjoy the voyage.
The Writers’ Intuitive Life Coach is the facet which can take a writer to the success he or she has dreamed about for years. The coach provides accountability. The coach not only speaks but more importantly listens. The coach is the impartial cheerleader when the project seems impossible.
Read on to discover how coaching can work for you!

Writing is a solitary profession, whether in front of a computer in a closed room, on a pad with pencil or pen while relaxing on a chair at the beach, or bowed over a table in a coffee house. The writer enters his or her private confines and opens the door to the Muse to create, oblivious to the outside world, family, friends or daily concerns. The writer has that mysterious and mystical talent, misunderstood by many, to describe worlds that do not exist, to make people fall in love with characters who have never lived, to make us feel emotions beyond our control.
Â
The writer will admit that, from time to time, his talents fail. The words elude him, the characters will not cooperate, the descriptions fall flat, and the page remains blank despite the best of efforts to fill it.
 The writer will also admit, when it comes to starting a new project, the best time to begin writing is tomorrow. Not today, not tonight, not right now, but tomorrow, when he or she is rested, when the ideas will flow freely. This is universally agreed to be the best time to begin, allowing for preparation, for getting notes in order, for finishing that last bit of research.
 Alas, for most of us, tomorrow never comes.
 The writer will finally admit he or she is accountable to nobody. Nobody looks over a writer’s shoulder. Writing is voluntary, chosen because of innate compulsion, not outside pressure. Writing is hard work; easy to put off because the world at large cares little that is never completed.
But the writer’s soul goes on denied of its full expression and that in itself brings the Muse to tears
Let’s together stop the Muse from Crying and rejoice with her in the laughter of fulfillment.
Let’s go from the Gut, the Intuition, the Spark of creative thought to the Glory, the Success and the Achievement of Authorship. Â
Do it now, not tomorrow, write something–even if it’s just a comment on this blog.Â
You’re a writer–that’s your life’s passion. I’m glad we settled that. We have bi-passed the feelings of what to do and what to search for. And you have a good idea of your Life’s Purpose. Your conviction is set –you know what you are, who you are. You have declared yourself by saying, by stating by sometimes screaming at the top of your lungs “I am a writer.†You’ve come this far. Congratulations!Okay, let’s get to work. Now, that you know where you are in your conscious mind, that your subconscious has allowed you to integrate and transition from thought, to dream to reality we must implement the process into action.The first thing you have to do is find support from those who believe in you–this includes yourself, don’t waver in your conviction. It helps to have a support group, those around you who are on the same track or at least understand and encourage your goals. If this is not the immediate family then join a writer’s group, a chat room for writer’s–now, take it easy in that department. Don’t spend all your time chatting about writing and feeling you’re already doing– when all you’re doing is electronically talking about it. You see writer’s write they don’t just talk about it.
Sometimes, in order to get the metaphorical wheels rolling in the write direction one might need a bit of a push. That’s why there are people like me, people who want to see others succeed and live their dreams. We’re willing to stand by you and push that cart into the rolling motion necessary to wake up the Muse inside you. That’s not all, once the cart is rolling it might run into a pothole or have a log fall in it’s path. That’s why you need the support of your writing allies, those who will help you get your cart unstuck or remove the log which sometimes can be called a writer’s block.
Reading is also very important to writers. You must read what you like in order to some day develop your own voice as a writer. This takes time, so don’t be impatient. One thing you must remember about writing; you’re never too young to start or too old to give it a go.
Whatever your ambitions are, to write as a hobby and put down some thoughts to relieve your creative energies and alleviate everyday stress. To share your knowledge on a particular subject as an expert in that field. Or perhaps, you have the ability to write fiction and entertain the masses with your innovative, mysterious, adventures. It doesn’t matter what course you take as long as you start walking in the Write Path. There are not many rules stating whether you should or should not write, but I personally think it’s wrong if you have it in your heart to write and you let it pass you by. What would you have to look back on if you had a dream of being a writer, if you had the given talent to be an excellent author and you abandoned the pursuit of sharing your words with the world for a simple case of fear?
The Law of Attraction is simple, all you have to do is affirm what you want and follow through with your soul purpose and clear intention. If you want it you can have it–that doesn’t mean you can become a published author as you see in your dreams and visualizations (signing books, traveling the world, being recognized from been on TV talk shows)–Ok, open your eyes. Wake up!…all that can be part of your reality, but you must do one thing first Write the book, The book or article, short story, poem won’t get written with thoughts and visualizations alone. There is work involved. Work, perhaps is not the right word to use in this context. When you write and you love writing, you feel joy, fulfillment That’s not the usual feelings that come to mind when we mention “work.†So let’s find another way to say work on it. How about creating the piece, manifesting your thoughts into the physical page so others will also have the opportunity and pleasure to read them.
I will leave you now with one thought so you can go and write. Don’t leave it for later or tomorrow–come on, indulge me. Write something even if it’s just a paragraph of 50 words. But, DO IT! DO IT NOW!
While writing pay attention to your feelings how do you feel when you write, when your fingers seem to glide across the keyword effortlessly or your pen on the page in a wonderful flowing rhythm. That is the synchronicity of subconscious thought integrating with conscious action. It is a very good feeling I want to share that with you.
Let me know, how it felt, did it flow or was it difficult? Did your apprehension get in the way? Really listen and feel, this might be a way to find out where the cart is traveling, is it a smooth road? A bumpy gravel country road? Or a narrow trail on the side of a mountain with a two hundred foot drop to one side? Just remember, no matter what kind of road you’re navigating as long as you keep moving forward it too shall pass and be behind you. And the adventure of your writing will be focused on the horizon.
And remember, when the cart gets stuck on the path to your creative greatness–I’m here to give you a hand to push you along, so we can all achieve success and bring abundance into our lives by sharing our creative gifts with the rest of the world.
Write Now! I mean Right Now–not kidding get going…
