There is never a moment that I will allow to slip through my fingers. Mindfulness is how I find all the right moments to allow myself room to grow and to just be me.
Do you allow yourself to blossom?
The Sound Of Paper -- Starting From Scratch
By Julia Cameron
Being @clevercreator is a journey that I will never stop taking. A large part of this journey is helping others to develop their own creative talents and find the resources that will help this take their own creative journeys. Are you going to put in the time to be successful on Steemit?
Ripening
Synchronicity is one of my favorite tools that allows me to bloom into my full potential. While reading Julia’s essay, I read the first sentence, “The sky is a dull, throbbing gray.”
I look up, from the book…and there in my face, my sky is gray and drab. My clouds want to rain so badly, but some unseen force is stopping them.
I enjoyed this essay because it reminds me that too much go, go, go does not allow us to invest in our growth (or as Julia states, our blossoming). We are too busy with tasks that we lose sight of all that really allows us to live up to our potential.
The exercise this week is a head out and buy 5 local postcards that show off our homes. Yeah, that involves getting in the car – I am protesting and am choosing the non-busy version.
The goal is to use these postcards to remind our friends that we are thinking of them – I am going to twist this exercise to ask, when was the last time you bonded with someone over an interest or a good cup of covfefe?
I am a bit buried in work at the moment (yep, busy busy busy), but I take the time to bond with the amazing folks that I have met through Steemit Chat.
How will you bring the busy to a halt (for a moment) today and make a connection?
My Current Give Back Programs
10% of the SBD earnings from this post are set aside to fund domestic abuse projects that are designed and maintained by @clevercreator – I am currently working towards building a long-term assistance program.
20% of the SBD from this post will be given back to the SteemIt Community through the amazing folks I find while doing my curation rounds.
As my earnings grow, these percentages will go up as well.
Every post that exceeds $100, and then multiples of 100 ($200, $300, $400, etc.), I will send out a book (used books that need good homes), WITH a handwritten note signed by yours truly, @clevercreator – But wait there are rules…
• Your comment must be the most voted
• Include in your comment what you would like to focus on in the letter (maybe something to encourage you or an idea that you need help with)
• For every multiple of $100 this post earns, that many folks can will be able to win…so if the post earns $311.13, then there will be 3 wonderful folks that will see this book and letter come to them
• You address must be deliverable by standard mail – I am sorry, at this time, I cannot afford a courier
• Yes, you can live outside the United States and win
• You must have an active SteemIt account at the time the post pays out
• Of course, the most important rule – have fun and get the discussion going
• If you will pay too much in taxes, outside the US, tell me, and I will send you a small e-gift card from Amazon
