However, to be honest, I almost lean toward prevention from writer's block, if at all possible. I do this by always keeping an electronic "notepad" open on my phone. When I'm listening to a song, watching a movie, driving, can't sleep, etc., often I have these sparks of inspiration. Something moves me, and my mind immediately starts to produce a stream of thought that excites me. As soon as I am able, I pull up my trusty notepad and type. Anything and everything. I don't worry about perfection ... it's just words on "paper" at this point. Then, the next time I'm sitting down at my computer to write, I have a solid footing upon which to start.

I learn more and more about myself as I go, as I truly hope my readers do! As a result, I feel stronger and more self-assured with every page/article that I publish. In turn, I pray that my readers feel my authenticity and connection to many of their experiences!(less)

Do You Lock Your Front Door?

I hit the power button on the remote control, turning off the evening news as I lowered myself slowly onto the living room couch. Our white, locked, front door was in plain view, standing strong and sturdy. Its surrounding glass panels were covered by closed shades, with only tiny bits of light seeping through their cracks from the porch lights outside.

Were my surroundings “airtight”? Not only the Read more of this blog post »
