The Paradox of information + writing

How are you doing? Is there anything you are celebrating? Let me say first-- I’m riding high because my second business, which I acquired in January, has celebrated a big milestone. Background: My grandfather started a business 50 years ago, a magazine about banjos, it passed to my dad and now it's mine. After a LOT of work behind the scenes, I finally was able to announce that the business is open (and not closing, which almost happened). A lot of people are celebrating and supporting. So...

I have some news. I hope you are doing okay, as I mentioned last week, my husband had a cold and I was not far behind. I ended up getting sick, and I am almost better. Today, I'd planned to continue sharing, in my latest vein on the topic of writing and digital organization of your words and how life changing it can be. But something got in the way of writing: And it wasn't my physical symptoms that kept me from writing this as planned. It was an ailment of the heart that has afflicted me for...

Since I was college-aged I have been thinking about how to improve my life. At 21, I got my first therapist. I read self-help books and did ALL the exercises. But it wasn’t enough!! I felt some incremental change, of course, but knew there was so much further to go in my healing. Writing became a part of that journey: at 22 I decided to take on Julia Cameron’s challenge to write daily morning pages. Weeks later, I paged through my journal and was completely surprised by the thoughts and...

How are you doing? A few weeks ago, I got really burned out, and have been consciously restoring myself since. One of the things I keep coming back to is my morning routine, it's always a good place to start when I'm feeling off. And lately it's even begun to inspire me to write other times of the day as well. As a result, I'm starting to feel like my old self again! Plus I've had some big aha moments... Morning Routines Here's the morning routine that has helped me bounce back from burnout...

A while ago, after I picked up an old notebook from 3 years before, and what I read was gold, ideas I'd written and forgotten and now was just remembering all over again... I HAD SUCH A GOOD IDEA, why did I do nothing with it? Seeing this gold I'd forgotten so completely, I had to wonder: Why do I forget my good ideas? Am I hiding things from myself? Is this self sabotage? Will I ever straighten out my brain? (Why can't it work in ABC order instead of FMQ?) Possible answers: It's trauma. It's...

How are you feeling today? I have a big update!! Me now: TIRED (this is a very non anal email, take it as permission to let some typos go so you can write better yes yes!!) But I'm also content. I got to sit on my balcony and read for a minute yesterday without wearing a coat. And.... THE BIG NEWS IS! We completed our fundraiser pay Aminata's college fees in Sierra Leone. And she sent me a note to share with you to say thank you! Things slowed down at the end of the fundraiser. I suddenly...

Happy International Women's Day!Did you hear? Today we are helping a woman named Aminata in Sierra Leone! Who is Aminata?Aminata is 20. She's enrolled in her 2nd year studying pharmacy at the most prestigious medical school in Sierra Leone. A big accomplishment!! Only about 20% of women in the region she is from can read a sentence, and they only accepted 50 women from the whole country to her program. But recently her mom died, and now Aminata has no way to pay. She may have to drop out. Why...

How are you feeling today? Me: less overwhelmed, having fun watching Survivor, enjoying warm days. I have a LOT going on. So last week I knuckled down to work on feeling less overwhelmed: I got organized by sorting my to-do items by project and then ranking my priorities. It really helps me feel less overwhelmed, more grounded, and more clear-minded so I know where to start. (This is a process we do in the Digital Organization Membership, which will open again soon!) Luckily, this was a day...
