Getting real is being true to who you are and if who you are is a writer then the hell with what anyone else thinks. Don't ever give up on that. Be real every day and don't give up on your dream because life without our dreams is like death.<br /><br />Maybe you'll get a big break and maybe you won't. I hope you do. I hope everyone who writes here does. But honestly, I'd rather go the rest of my life with nothing but my hope than give up.Wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099758957492165428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165349633953530363.post-41716394614896932682010-02-15T19:59:36.799-08:002010-02-15T19:59:36.799-08:00Heather and Marcella-It's in my book that I...Heather and Marcella-It's in my book that I'm hoping to publish this year sometime. Since 1996, I have been doing meditation, sometimes joining courses of 20, 30 and 45 days of silence. I didn't realize how much that training has had an effect on me. It has trained me to operate from the inside out. From this place, I know where I need to go. If you want to check out the meditation I practice, you can find info on this site: http://www.dhamma.org. I HIGHLY recommend it!Katherine Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732133918969183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165349633953530363.post-49011976300354885492010-02-15T19:43:18.575-08:002010-02-15T19:43:18.575-08:00Yes!

I kind of do feel like we are all ONE (yet unique in our own way), so these stories are starting to blend together for me. I will change it as you surely deserve the credit.<br /><br />Marla-You should not be afraid of your success as your success is everyone's. This is how I feel. I feel like something is working through me that I can't explain..I am not me, but I am??!! Make any sense?<br /><br />Heather-Yes, it may very well be synchronicity. Yes, I do believe there is value in giving up, but when you are tuned in, you know when to stop and when to go and when to step back and when to go forward. I have learned so much from going "within" and training this part of myself. Now I operate completely from that place.Katherine Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732133918969183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165349633953530363.post-17239463173062472142010-02-15T16:03:14.172-08:002010-02-15T16:03:14.172-08:00Could be synchronicity Kathy!

Perhaps if we stand back and just allow things to happen then we also make the space for someone or something to arrive that will change things. <br /><br />=============Heather Conroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920467495359563485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165349633953530363.post-59794685706166120982010-02-15T16:01:55.006-08:002010-02-15T16:01:55.006-08:00Good post, Kathy!

I cannot begin too tell you how much I can relate to what you have written here. <br /><br />My entire life, yes, from when I was very young even, I have had this feeling that I was meant for something big. Bigger than I could imagine. I still have this come to me in dreams and waking moments. It usually scares me because I am so in dread of failing. <br /><br />As I have said recently, I am starting to realize it is not the failing I fear as much as the possibilty of succeeding. So strange.<br /><br />I can't wait to hear where this conversation with Laura takes you. Thank you for always sharing from the heart. I appreciate you.Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000815937078399278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165349633953530363.post-69823855461735427052010-02-15T15:36:04.155-08:002010-02-15T15:36:04.155-08:00Hi Katherine, I know that feeling of 'why have...Hi Katherine, I know that feeling of 'why haven't I got the break'. I am still learning to accept that spirit knows when we are ready to accept something and that all happens as it should, when it should. By the way I wrote Miracles, but it's all good as we are all ONE, and all deserve credit :)CHRISTINAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679973577586791631noreply@blogger.com
