Hi Conscious Writers!

There may be a hard frost outside but the sky is clear blue and the winter sun is lighting up the landscape and my inspiration which feels deeply nourishing.

As I explained in my New Year’s message last week, 2019 started with a bang for me in the literal sense of a car crash and I’m still dealing with the impact of that at every level.

However, this has been yet another opportunity to interpret the message of the moment as a reminder to review my highest priorities and ensure that I’m following through on what feels truly important.

Conscious Writing Quantum Leap

One of my highest priorities genuinely is to write, live and lead consciously, creatively, authentically and joyfully, and to guide and support others to do the same.

So it’s heartwarming that my latest offering, the Conscious Writing Quantum Leap 3 month individual coaching package, has already been so well received.

There are still a few places left if you feel drawn to harness the energy of the New Year and take the leap with your creative ideas and personal or professional writing project(s). Read more here.

On Being a Writer + Your Creative Vision

This month’s Free Member Interview is with bestselling author and all round delightful guy Robert Holden who shares his insight and experience on writing as a path of enquiry. Read more here.

And if you’re looking for clarity on what your creative priorities truly are for 2019, this month’s feature article will guide you step-by-step through the process of finding out. Read more here.

Enjoy!

Hi Conscious Writers!

On this cold December day, I’m inspired to share with you that the recent Conscious Writing Retreat Reunion was memorably warm, deep and enriching for us all!

I’ve not lead a winter retreat before as the heat of summer has always beckoned.

Yet our collective experience of living and writing consciously and creatively proved to be a highlight of the season, and was described by participants as “a most wonderful, special, powerful and beautiful experience.”

Conscious Writing Quantum Leap

Since returning, I’ve been navigating the final choppy waters of the Mercury retrograde phase that I wrote about last month.

Thankfully it’s now direct again, so I’ve picked up the threads of moving forwards with new possibilities and I’m delighted to share a brand new project called Conscious Writing Quantum Leap.

Drawing on the alpha energy of the New Year, this three month individual coaching package will guide you to transform your creative experience and take a quantum leap forwards with your personal or professional writing project(s).

Starting in January, this exclusive opportunity is an expansion of my regular coaching and mentoring options for less than half the price! Read more here.

Writing for Healing and Creative Consistency

If you’re drawn to use writing as a healing tool for releasing what no longer serves you, you’ll enjoy this month’s IACCW Member interview with Catherine Ann Jones called Heal Yourself with Writing.

If you’re struggling to write consistently despite having the best intentions to do so, last week I celebrated the 2nd anniversary of the Conscious Writing for Creative Living blog by writing about one of my key learnings.

It’s called 7 Reasons to Be Creatively Consistent, and my intention is to inspire you to show up regularly and experience the cumulative rewards for yourself.

Finally, thank you for continuing to share this conscious and creative adventure with me, and I wish you truly wonderful Solstice and Yule time celebrations ahead.

With love

Hi Conscious Writers

In a few days time Mercury will begin a retrograde period (17 Nov to 6 Dec) which typically means that communications, technology and travel (amongst other things) may be disrupted.

There’s a great deal more to this recurring phase than is relevant to share here; however, if you want to learn more, searching for “Mercury retrograde” brings up over 6.5 million results!

In short, for a week or so before, during and after these times, it’s probably best to avoid launching anything new, making important decisions or signing a significant contract, especially if it’s related to communications.

Align with the Energy

However, you can align yourself with the energy of Mercury retrograde in a positive way and embrace it as a time to slow down, make genuinely conscious choices, and review what’s truly important for you.

I’m mentioning all of this because last week we experienced a number of issues relating to technology and communications which had an impact on all kinds of priorities including delaying the IACCW journal newsletter.

Fortunately we track the periods of Mercury retrograde so we were aware of the “big picture” influencing our situation which enabled us to take it in our stride and calmly (most of the time!) work towards resolution.

Focus on the Opportunities

Hopefully that will be it for our challenges this time around.

However, we’ll remain vigilant going forwards and from the state of being grounded in the present moment, focus on releasing all that belongs to yesterday and reflecting on new possibilities for tomorrow.

If you feel that releasing limiting beliefs around your writing might be beneficial, this month’s interview will guide you to do so using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and the feature article will support you through writing an Unsent Letter.

Have a wonderfully conscious and creative month!
