Dear expansive self, and listening companions,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
note to Heart Self: the microphone is on!
Today was a special landmark day for me. I am so excited to share a few of my highlights! 
A little behind-the-scenes.
My first writing experience – as a newbie writer was kinda rocky and so after my first book mountain climb, I needed a rest from writing for awhile, and began to pursue other forms of art and soul expression.
Until well it took its sacred time growing subtly within me,until I felt ready, which was today –to begin Again.
Back to the basics, and it feels so beyond especially good!~
I have had a project in mind for awhile and my writing soul kept saying -the twin is still coming up! But I wasn’t sure what it would be exactly, a journal literally or a magazine online, or a what… other ideas followed and I didn’t race after them, just let it percolate.
I’m-In-the-Writing-STUDIO again! And This is why I couldn’t be any happier right now!
I am writing again,…. the flow is tapped! woo!
Anyway, so now I know what it is this mystery project I had in my heart for quite awhile:
“Love’s Leading Journal”: will be a heart memoir celebrating my life from my view with the dearest people and experiences that shaped me into who I am today.” Only it is not an autobiography per say, but more a treasured collection of journals of chosen stories and written even merging with the present to bring the values out for our new generations. I am carrying the light torch and preserving the heritage so that it will not be lost in my family and the rich values will not be lost in our global community for what we all hold dear! (the main character is me but will have a different elegant name and as will other characters in the book, though it will be based on my real life story, the favorite and important parts that shaped my own unique story. Love will celebrate the unity of all characters yet again in the twin to “Love’s Leading Companion” – http://www.lovesleadingcompanion.com) This is the girly take on things from a perfect blend of then to now to Love leading us on into this super lavish feminine journey! the first book I wrote was very foundational and I think of it as the boy baby and very necessary for relationships and the universal Love foundation. Both are special to my heart!~~ yeah~
I’ve been gaining clarity, bit by bit through this intensity of change!
Yes, it is ~Very exciting times!~~
I am thankful to the angels who nudged me through my dreams last night of the importance of this task- FUN! They were soooo beyond wise and did it in a way that I wanted to do this rather than feeling forced or purposeful. Thankfully, I have more desire in the lighter element of Playfulness lately!
Anyway, I will be taking my time this year writing in-studio, hopefully soon at my new! vintage Writer’s desk! I can almost taste it, I feel so close to my long-anticipated and specific dream of finally having my own desk 
as a writer.
This will be quite the homecoming! I’ll share photos and such once I get her home with me —and maybe even painting for it has to be vintage white and match my heart needs a mini library in it too for my classic and fav. spiritual books for this new pilgrimage/ journey ahead.
I am thrilled to say that I plan to share this journey with you as well!
As I write my heart memoir, I plan to share some tidbits along the way. Encouraging you to join me on a similar journey whether it is for your own private pilgrimage or writing your first book. (I will be keeping my book content offline) though I will find ways to be sharing some insights and processes from a companion role, as I write and for those of you who wish to join me.
The specific gifts I have to share: I have enjoyed journaling since 2005 and took a slight break in the last year, as I was overwhelmed with promoting my other book. I am an avid journalist (not sure if that is the right term, but i’m using it!) hehe Now, I am shifting more into Retreats for women through videos and writing workshops and pampering the emotions for essential cushion through your transitions. I have personally been through much transition and have enjoyed the benefits of journaling. For 5 years, my journal was my home, until just recently when I could come home to myself. Now I see journaling as a wise companion, and am living as a beginner transformed into a self-acceptance, loving myself unconditionally home to celebrate my whole being. I know that I would not be where I am today without Love guiding me through, my dear friends and family, and my sweet journal!
What’s to Come: Teaching/Empowering as a Companion role
I’m not sure the details of how, but I’m trusting the Universe to show me and guide me how I can bless other women by sharing all of my main artful processes, rather than wait til finished projects. I also love working on short projects when the passion rushes through, so I will be continuing to share mini workshops and videos as nudged! I appreciate your feedback of what helps and what you’d love to see more of for cushioning you on your journey in transition!
***Now, I feel more compelled to teach as a companion, and empower women to see the benefits of journaling in their life —especially through transition—, and creative writing is a beautiful channel for emotional release and finding one’s forgotten soul diamond strength. So, lets let the stories begin, and the soul shall find its muses. ART is one of my major cheerleaders and a simple serendipitous visual image is often enough for my imagination to explore it and make up a story! Maybe I can do inspirations like this for us as we write. We’ll see what comes up! This act was enough to tease me today to write my first few pages of my book and a brief outline of the first 5-6 chapters of my upcoming heart memoir.
Wrapping Up the Gifts from today:
Affirmation: Creative writing is, and always was for me. Especially because it was sooo hard and I stayed the course, a new journey has begun and I am once again a child with pen in hand.
Ooohh and one more juicy update:
I decided this memoir JOURNAL book I will be writing it by hand, no computer at all– feels sooo right!
(at least until the end results of editing/polishing) between now and likely blossoming by spring 2013. To me this feels Sooooo special that it will flow from my heart from that still place of conscious exploration and express from the JOY which I have found in journaling these last 5+years. This is my gift back to Source and to other women, who may also come to be nourished by spirit well + this useful writing tool (and eventually our customized journals we will offer here for you)–that which saved me first, without me realizing just how much I needed this to heal and be pampered from the inside out!
So yay, I know that I will sleep well tonight and I am sooo pleased that I’m back on the horse again – The Creative Writing Horse and I’m grateful for this time of stillness and retreat. I’ve been pulling back from mainstream technology rush the last few days and plan to coast the rest of the month and get very clear in my heart mostly offline with what is wanting to come through. I encourage you to do the same if you feel overwhelmed lately with the intense Universal waves in this cycle of endings and beginnings.
We can achieve the impossible with Love, and living for awhile from the heart of stillness and ART magic!
We are made of stories and love. We are companions partnered with Love.
love ya!,
Jenn
