Showing Up

What perfect timing.  My friend Beth sent me a link to this wonderful Youtube video featuring Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love, in which she gives her take on creativity. The idea of this conversation between me and this something wondrous outside of myself, that sense of connection, is absolutely wonderful.

And what I love the most? I just have to show up – show up in front of my writing software, show up with pen in hand, pad on lap, show up, show up – that’s my job, and then it’s a matter of trust and openness.

I love it.

I'd love to hear from you: Click here to add your thoughts!

    Sara, thank you! I’ve been wanting to post here for a while, and it was the old “the longer you wait, the harder it gets” syndrome. Now I don’t feel like I’m posting into a void :)

    Loved this video Belle…glad you posted it here.

    I think it is so cool that you and I both updated our blogs yesterday….both for the first time since we’ve been back from Florida. Hmmm…something really wonderful is in the air :-)
