DON’T DIE WITH YOUR MUSIC STILL INSIDE YOU.
I love the above quote and frequently remind myself of this when I want to give up or am wondering why I do half the work I do. When I was very young I decided that I do not believe in regrets and therefor I do not want to get to the end of my life and look back and say I wish I had tried to accomplish something. If you are a reader of this blog you know that two of the main projects that I’m working on are putting together a retreat for women to help them clarify and achieve their visions of success and a book about women living their visions. (If you would like to contribute to this project click this link to take the Vision Quest Survey) The book, which has been in the works since last February, is a non fiction book.
At the end of October I was asked to contribute to an anthology of women’s stories. This book, Many Paths, Many Feet: An anthology of women’s stories, is due out in March 2010 and will contain works of fiction, non fiction and poetry. I am contributing a short story. I don’t want to say too much about it as it is in progress but… it’s a fairy tale about the adventures of a half mortal half g*ddess princess. This has been a very interesting and challenging endeavor for me. I typically do not write fiction so it is also a new experience for me. Writing this, I realize I could write an entire blog on the process of writing this story but instead I will put that energy into the story itself.
On the retreat front, I am going to West Virginia next week to conduct a Visions session with a group of women and one for a non-profit organization. I am looking forward to this, but realize that this weekend is going to be a very busy time for me getting ready. I just wanted to write a quick update and find out how you are living your visions.
WILL YOU DIE WITH YOUR MUSIC STILL INSIDE YOU?
