The Magical Freedom of a Writing Group

The freedom of writing
What do you consider your number one core motivator? Each time I’ve been asked freedom is first on my list.

While I certainly appreciate the freedoms we enjoy from all the wonderful work of our forefathers, the freedom that comes up for me, that drives me, is a deeper freedom. It’s the unleashing of my creativity. The freedom to explore and discover my unique voice wherever that shows up – in my home, on a scrap of watercolor paper, my career and relationships.  And with that freedom comes an obligation to be true to that voice.

Because the world needs our true voices. It is parched and craves the nourishment that our beautiful and unique selves provide.

One of the most powerful places to exercise that freedom is through writing. Writing clarifies and articulates that freedom. It is a vehicle of discovery and growth, an outlet for emotion and imagination. It expands it and celebrates our inner freedom.  And, in a safe and nurturing space, it is magic.

When I took that leap and joined a writing group I experienced that magical freedom. My life began to shift. It was a gradual unfolding; a knowing that my truest and unique self was okay. Writing gave me the bravery to, as Thoreau said, “advance confidently in the direction” of my dreams. It taught me to trust the creative process and to lose the rigid attachment to an end result. I learned to enjoy the meandering beginnings in my writing knowing that I could invite in the left brain to finish up. (Also, to learn that that philosophy works everywhere in my life, even to planning dinner!)

All that from writing. That is freedom!

And I want that freedom for you! This is why I create space for writers to gather in a safe circle. This is why I gather writers and other creative souls to do the most meaningful work we will ever do – to exercise the freedom to joyfully be who they are.

Join me in a Writers’ Circle at The Purple Ink Cafe. Click here to read more about it and to register for the current circle.

Exercise your inalienable right to let your voice ring out. The world is waiting to hear from you!
