“Go there. Hold it. Measure it. Film it. Touch it. Draw it. Feel its heft. The things of the world.

Day 13 of #NaNoWriMo and today’s questions are: * What did my skin feel like? * Who are my cheerleaders? 💫 Question one comes from #nanomemoir2018 @brandywhenry who has sparked my memory & #imagination! She is also a great cheerleader! 💫 How did my skin feel? I have many memories that come to mind and one that I can share is how how I felt when I had the chicken pox at the age of 23. I was working in Lake Louise and working a part time job at the ski hill and a transit child was dropped off for the day. No one knew they had the chicken pox and bam! I ended up with the little red dots all over my body. My skin felt so tight, like when you wrap yarn around your finger tightly and it feels like something is going to burst. I also felt hot and itchy of coarse, but it felt like sandpaper when I touched my skin. Not an experience I would want to go through again. ✨ Who are my cheerleaders? Do we have enough space to list everyone? My spirit squad consists of my parents, family, hubby and friends. I couldn’t have finished my first #memoir without the help of everyone who surrounds me with their love and support. My #gratitude for you is more than you May know. 💫 Great writing prompts coming up this week. I’m so grateful to have stumbled upon these two photo challenges. - #nanothatwrimo #memoir #writing #writingmemoir #writersofinstagram #writinglife #creativelife - @novelplottingandpeonies @nanowrimo @jacquinelsonauthor @lavender_lemon22 @carsonjoann @sherrikeenan @lin_c_c1 @bigbadjuicypig @hattdawn @daveharris4025 @cheryl_stiefvater @kim_teramoto @kellyteramoto @kellykorponay @eileenkorponay @leighagram @ruthbourachot @krzcanuck @mcmoe07 https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIhO9CBeQQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m5pm1ksxn55u

Just going home somewhere past the rainbow. 🌈🔮🌈 Portland was far better than I could have imagined. How does it just get better every time? 🔮I love being able to look out the window and see just how tiny we all are. How big the rest of the space we think we take up, actually is. How much room there is for growth. All is not lost, yet. . . . . . #writersofig #writinginthesky #airplane_pics #rainbowsky #writingmemoir #writeawaywithme #homesweethome #portlandoregon #airandlight https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQbhuuhu2S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1occkm9p279qp

In my work as a speaking coach, I get to meet the most incredible people. One of those people is Kim Campbell, widow of music legend Glen Campbell. Kim’s book Gentle On My Mind: In Sickness and In Health with Glen Campbell is a beautiful autobiography of their 34-year marriage and his very public battle with Alzheimers disease. Kim’s become an advocate for caregivers and I was so happy to be able to interview her for my upcoming Resilience Series. In the meantime, this is a wonderful book for fans of Glen, for caregivers, and for people of Christian faith. Thanks, Kim!

Did you miss this week’s show? I interviewed @elizathewriter about her new novel Censorettes, a WWII spy drama set in beautiful Bermuda. Bermuda fish chowder and Dark & Stormy drinks were on the menu! Check it out on my IGTV tab. #writingislove #writingprocess #fictionwriters #bermuda #chowder #writingmemoir #foodiereads #forthbinders #womenwritersofinstagram #authorcommunity #writersworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CG_FnRmBE5K/?igshid=1ecvmouj0o9a4

I love this quote from @khosseini so much. That’s how forgiveness towards my abuser showed up for me. It’s hard when someone does something unforgivable and never says they’re sorry. But for me, letting go of that burden of anger was incredibly healing. #forgivenessquotes #forgivenessisfreedom #forgivenessheals #writingislove #writingprocess #memoirwriters #writingmemoir #womenwritersofinstagram #authorcommunity #writersworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CG7zGqcBKDc/?igshid=10hodj685xc34

It’s chilly and dark this morning, like summer turned to fall overnight. Even when it feels dark, the light is always there, even though sometimes it’s just a glimmer. Take a breath, know the light will return. #writingislove #writingprocess #memoirwriters #writingmemoir #womenwritersofinstagram #authorcommunity #writersworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CG2Z_DXhSqu/?igshid=1m432sl7vb8dg

Last week Rachel Maddow opened her show with this, “Will you wake up on Election Day knowing that you have done EVERYTHING you could?” I have thought about that all week. I’m not going to list everything I’ve done, but I examined it and realized the one thing I haven’t was text a family member in a swing state and ask them to vote blue. It wasn’t an easy conversation, but I did it. My family heritage on both sides is German. I often wonder if we have relatives who were Nazis, or collaborators with Nazis, or “nice people” who didn’t want to get involved, who looked away, who thought it really couldn’t be that bad because it wasn’t affecting them. Germany is still reckoning with her past, but ALL THOSE PEOPLE are thought of as Nazis. That’s how serious this is. So I encourage all of us to do ALL that we can these last two weeks, whatever that looks like for you. Let’s take our country back so we can begin the reckoning, rebuilding, and healing. #writingislove #writingprocess #memoirwriters #writingmemoir #foodiereads #forthbinders #womenwritersofinstagram #authorcommunity #writersworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CGhthikBuLc/?igshid=97zjmah13yzt

I realized this week that these posts are my #morningpages. If you haven’t heard of that, it’s from @juliacameronlive’s work The Artist’s Way and The Right to Write. Making a daily practice of writing something, whatever is on your mind, without judging it editing it or having it have to “be” something in particular can be a powerful practice. But it’s just not something I have regularly done. But then a friend challenged me to use this space to talk more about myself and my life. And I realize that these flower posts have become my morning pages. Do you have a regular writing practice? And if so what does it look like? . . . . . #writingislove #writingprocess #memoirwriters #writingmemoir #womenwritersofinstagram #authorcommunity #writersworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CGaOQ4jBE6i/?igshid=1exruxkfrlhmq

I ended up in this canyon this morning. I took a different route than normal so I could drop something off at a neighbor’s. And in a few steps I was in this different world. Peaceful. Bird song. Trail crunching underneath my feet. It’s going to be another day under the “heat dome” which means some level of migraine (I’m on day 4, but doing okay). So I get up early to get at least one walk in, move my body, see the world a bit. Moving off my beaten path made a difference. Can you try that today? . . . . . #writingislove #writingprocess #memoirwriters #writingmemoir #foodiereads #forthbinders #womenwritersofinstagram #authorcommunity #writersworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CGXlFWDBuaL/?igshid=17jm7oxk0e6jd

There is beauty everywhere. My big takeaway from @jenpastiloff book On Being Human was what she calls beauty hunting. It tuned up my senses and encouraged me to stop and look more closely at the world around me. As a writer, that’s a gift. . #writingislove #writingprocess #memoirwriters #writingmemoir #womenwritersofinstagram #authorcommunity #writersworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CGNliX6hkwb/?igshid=1n9eh55j8eqyi
