Self-Healing Secrets for Women Who Want To Write!
Listen. At any given time, there is a woman out there with as much life behind as ahead of her now. She has Wisdom to share, and stories to tell. She may be looking at retirement; she may need to leave a soul-depleting job, she could be recovering from or suffering a life-shaking shock, or a personal loss. Overwhelm may have muted the beautiful potential writer inside her.
Do you know someone like that? It's time for a few self-healing secrets for these women who want to write!
In my years as a published author, broadcasting and marketing guru, and teacher, I discovered a subtle yet, powerful piece of the writing puzzle. It snaps into place the moment a woman realizes that not only can she contemplate and describe where she has been, but she can create where she is going just as surely! Here is just one of the secrets of writing you can share!
Assure her that ANYONE can step into the shoes of a writer. She can begin a healing journey at any time and for any reason. Suggest that she start at the beginning with a subject matter with which she is already intimately familiar- HERSELF!
For some of us, it is a long road from settling for "the way things seem to be" to soul-designing the way you want to live your life in the days ahead. Self-limiting beliefs play a part in that movie, it twists and turns, and we get lost, off track, neglect that which we long for most, yet there is always a pathway through!
TRY THIS TODAY:
Make a list of everything that is bugging you.
(I’ll wait.)
(Yes, you can include old wounds that keep showing up in your thoughts or as patterns in your life.)
(Waiting for those to surface.)
Breathe in, breathe out. Well done!
NOW:
- Begin at the end of your list, looking backward (up the list) through all of your written words. Reading backward helps you “see” more effectively.
- Using a pen or pencil draw a circle around all of the words that catch your eye or that “tug” at your body (heart, for example).
- With a different colored pen or pencil draw a rectangle around only three words of the words from your circled words list.
- Now, use those three words to write a short, made-up story, writing non-stop for 7 minutes.
- Keep doing that process with a different-color pen until you have written 7-minute stories with ALL of your circled words, and you will have given voice to your Inner Writer! You will have creatively increaded the vibration (the good-feeling energy) of your emotions and the cells in your body!
- FINALLY: Breathe-in a clean, fresh breath of air and know, "There is ALWAYS more than what you SEEM to see!"
Mahalo and Much Aloha!

You know how, as creative women, we come to the end of our careers, hopeful and yet a little scared as we move on into retirement? It's a lot, all at once; a ton of paperwork, insurance boogers, and the Tasmanian Moneyplanning-Devil. Beneath the now-different To-Do lists the desire to finally sit down to write sits there, gasping for breath. Then life starts making other plans for your time. Those juices get sticky as a grandchild's little hands. Fear slips in, and when you finally do grab a few minutes to write, it feels like there is a wall between you and what is wanting to be born into the world. How do I know this? I had that same desire and urgent calling to write, too. I had no idea how to begin or what to do, and I could find no help for a recently-retired lady who wanted to write! I ONLY KNOW THIS: "This is a new chapter, not the end of my story, and there are other women just like me; women with juicy gifts to discover and a story to tell." Let’s begin!
