A friend told me the other day, that writers dream in words. I thought about that for a while and realized that I am constantly putting words together when a quiet moment sneaks in amidst the noise.
It’s kind of like counting when I am walking and realize that I am counting my steps like Monk (on the TV series) counted things he passed. When I recognize I am counting, I start composing word combinations to the tempo of my steps. I should carry a recorder and talk out loud as I “march” down the street making music out of counted words.
The other day the grandkids were here, and I served up a bowl of alphabet soup. Of course, I encouraged them to find words to eat. The older one laughed it off and ate huge spoons full of letters. He is a teenager now, but the little one and I found some to nibble on and I delighted in the word scramble.
This has been a week of distractions, intentional diversions designed to take me away from the ordinary, from my comfy chair; designed to challenge my brain like crossword puzzles or wordle.
I’ve started a new series that will show up on my Facebook pages (check it out) https://www.facebook.com/vickildobbsauthor or https://www.facebook.com/wisdomevolutiononline/.
I’m going to play with a single letter every day for the next 30 days and see where wisdom swirls to the surface of my alphabet soup.
Here’s an example: I awaken and appreciate, with renewed admiration, the animate and inanimate beings I am aligned with, in the seen and the unseen worlds of our sacred guides, guardians, angels, and allies.
You try it –
Pick a letter, just one, and write an affirming, encouraging, and/or inspirational sentence to or for yourself. Share it… reply to this or on one of my facebook alphabet posts at: https://www.facebook.com/vickildobbsauthor
Have fun and gift yourself a diversion that may reveal a spark of creativity that might just swirl up from your own inner wisdom.
On another note, I will have all the information out in the next week for the retreat in AZ in May – Write with the Whispers in the Wind. Are you ready to explore writing as more than just a form of storytelling and see it as a gateway into your own self-discovery and personal transformation?
Do you hear a call to adventure? Is it the voice of Spirit whispering to you in a breeze, in your dreams, from the pages of a book that sparks your inner writers intrigue, or in the soft silence of the dawning light?
Maybe you’d like to join me in AZ in late May and connect with your creative soul… embrace yourself as a creative being by rediscovering and nurturing your innate ability to generate new ideas, express yourself authentically, and engage in imaginative and artistic pursuits.
Tap into your creativity and journey, write, listen, make sacred art, and honor your unique creative voice by allowing it to flourish without limitation in a small, intimate gathering of kindred spirits.
Interested? Click here and get on the “I’m curious” list or maybe even find yourself reading the rest of the story.
Open a can of alphabet soup and write with the letters that float to the surface. Turn your curiosity into wisdom and share it with the world.
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z
Where will the letters take thee?
Write On as you travel down Happy Trails…
