HAPPY MAY!
A few months ago I held my Release Obstacles WRITE NOW! workshop and I am so excited to be offering it again this June! Releasing obstacles is a theme that is very personally significant to me, as I have hit many periods of extreme, frustrating stuck-ness in my life, where I’ve encountered, time and again, that feeling of hitting (sometimes slamming) my head up against a brick wall, and the more I try and try and try to make things better, the more exhausted, depleted, and stuck I become.
Many years ago, a friend said to me, “Maybe you aren’t banging your head up against a brick wall. Maybe it’s just one brick, and if you take a step back, you can just…walk around it.” My response to her then was, “Who the $&#@ put that brick there? Like, hanging in the middle of space, at the level of my head?!?!” But of course, I recognized the wisdom of her words; when everything feels hopeless and you feel lost, when you can’t figure your way out of a stuck place by staring at your problem and banging your head up against it, perspective usually helps. And when you take a step back and disentangle yourself from whatever it is that is holding you captive, it loosens its grip on you, and you find, that sometimes, you can release it, and it releases you…
Right now this topic feels especially relevant given the current economic climate and pervasive fear in the world. So whether your obstacles are out there or in here, feel like they were imposed on you or perhaps self-created, take a day to step back, tap into compassionate awareness & see some other possibilities, walk around that one freestanding brick, and let them go. And start your summer off a little lighter & freer!
This workshop will be offered at a new location in MANHATTAN in Midtown West close to most subway lines, and I am offering an Early Chick Registration Discount if you sign up before Thursday, May 21st! For more information click here.
