Friday, July 5, 2024

Hi Friend,

When I first started dating my now-husband, Ezra Barany, (25 years ago!) I told him that one of the few things I knew about myself was that I would always change.

He said, "Yay! Sign me up!" Or something like that.

Change can be disorienting and scary, and exhilarating.

Change is a fact of life.

I see change like the ebb and flow of the waves. It's gonna happen.

I feel our job is to get in synch with the waves and with the beating of our own heart.

Some ways to do that that I like:

Meditation / Contemplation (I like the Triple Flame app.)
Exercise (I love walking.)
Journaling (Depending on the project, I use Scrivener; Notion; and a Moleskine journal; And I'm not telling you how many paper journals I've collected - lots!)

What are ways that you get in synch with yourself?

I'd love to hear.

❤️

On to the podcast...

The Name of the Game is Change

“I want to encourage you to have it rooted in heart. In fact, I bet you, it already is. What you care about is what you’re writing about. So, where is the heart in your work?"

-- Beth Barany
