Hello! This is Labris Willendorf, author of, " How I Became The Love of My Life." I am beaming to share my adventures with you! You'll read the vivid, pitiful, curvy, silly, sensexual and all the in-between growth and shenanigans!
Let's do this!
I'd love to start out with everything being apple pie with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream but it wasn't that way. I started writing when I finally dug deep enough to encounter the little bit of courage buried underneath "Everything is fine" smiles.
It was a few years after I left my wife of almost 14 years. I was meditating and the the the recording of Deepak Chopra asked what it was that I really wanted to do, that I hadn't shared with anyone. the answer came to me instantaneously: write a book.
A few weeks later my friend Tiffany was over and we were talking about dreams and drinking wine, eating tortilla chips or something less healthy, and it took all my strength to tell her. I was so full of shame, anxiety, that she would laugh, or worse, think I was so full of myself. She was the exact Opposite! She was so encouraging and even gave me the name and number of a writing teacher! I called him and ended up enrolling in his book completion class! Andy Couturier was the most amazing mentor, friend and teacher. I even went on a writing retreat with him and 6 other to Guatemala, but that's for another day!
For all of you writers that are scared of sharing your thoughts, beauty and unique magic with others, I encourage you from my sparkly soul, Do It! Write!!
Now I'm off to Do It, too!
Until next time!
Joyfully,
Labris
