The Color Purple

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it ~ Alice Walker

I think it pisses God off when we don't notice a lot of things. We live in such a fast paced world anymore, sometimes simple things can be missed.

But they don't have to be. It's up to me to stop and take time to enjoy life, even though I have some pretty aggressive goals for the year. I am in a groove where if I don't get my writing done, my day feels completely off. Sometimes that writing comes quickly and I'm done in forty five minutes and other times its take and hour or hour and a half.

I'm also involved in a new critique group, doing some additional guest posts and hosting people as well. Networking and social media are becoming more important to promote my two novels and I'm jumping in head first.

And I'm still taking time to relax and enjoy myself. I try not to spend too much time on social media, but work to post relative content and network just a little bit daily. I set a time for myself each evening during the week to be done and I set a time during the day on the weekends to be finished with writing and focus on relaxing and fun.

How are you doing this year with setting boundaries and enjoying your success in your dream journey?

Create From the Heart

If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing ~ Marc Chagal

Are you following and creating from the heart? Are you struggling with your dream journey? No matter what you do, you just can't seem to get anywhere? Would you believe you may not be following the correct path?

For years, I wanted to be successful in direct sales. I dreamed of making five grand or more a month while coaching and developing a team of successful consultants to success. I dreamed of being on stage at national conventions. There were times in that career I did really well and of course there times I barely hung on by a thread. Looking back now, I understand completely that wasn't my destiny.

Writing has been completely different. Once I figured out my writing schedule and did my outlining, writing each morning seems like a normal part of my day that's been missing all these years. Even writing blog posts like this is easy and a breeze now that I figured out a schedule and formula.

That's how I know I am following the right dream. I write from the heart, I wanted to be successful in sales because of the personal economic sense it made. Working from the heart, for me, seems so much more successful.

Have you changed dream journeys before?

Hold Fast to Your Dreams

Hold fast to dreams for it dreams die life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly ~ Langston Hughes

The first month of 2014 is done. How are you doing on your New Year's Resolutions?

I hope you haven't given up. I think I mentioned Thursday that my first couple of weeks into the New Year started off rocky and uncertain. I am now back in a groove and on the right track to achieve my goals this year.

I've also mentioned before that when I quit smoking and went back to school, I didn't even start those goals until later in the year. Hopefully that's your case as well.

I think what people don't realize is that you have a whole year to achieve your goal. If your goal is to exercise more, you went to the gym the first week and then got out of the groove, try starting over again. Maybe you tried to do too much too soon. Maybe the time you'e carved out to go to the gym ended up not working for your schedule as well as you thought. Regroup and try to start over this month.

Remember, you have the whole year to accomplish your goal. How's your 2014 going?
