TIME to do Nothing!

If we examine ourselves it will be easy to see that most of our lives are occupied with doing things.  There is always a job list and hopefully time enough to get stuck in and the joy of crossing something off our list, only to put something else in its place. 

What about TIME to do nothing?  How can that happen and is it a good thing to do nothing?  Yes, oh yes. It is a blessing to be able to come away from activity and allow ourselves to relax in a state of being 'nothing'.

It can happen that we become what we do, instead of being who we are, a spiritual being with a link to our Creator who has a special plan for each one of us.

When we can let go of all the plans that buzz around in our head, then we may and hopefully will be guided by our spiritual being, able and willing to live in each moment without putting an outer cover on the person we think we are.

Give time to doing nothing, even for a moment now and then, and be surprised and aware of how much more one can become!

Put Love first...

 There are times when we are weak, perhaps physically or mentally or both. 

We have a need for consolation and somehow need to come away from whatever negative feelings or worries that might assail us.

Being weak can be a blessing in disguise because we become aware of our need for help, our need for God.  Simply by realizing this will allow God to lavish His compassionate love on us.

The challenge is to learn to avoid any negative thoughts that might come. We can relax in our weak state, full of confidence that God, like a Loving Father, is looking after us / prompting us / guiding us and comforting us.

The more we are able to be like a child, believing that our Loving Father is with us and will never forsake us, we will regain our peace of mind.  God does not leave us.  Often, it is we who move away from God.

Learn to relax in whatever state of weakness we find ourselves and give time for God to step into our lives and become our Mentor.

St. Paul was known to say, ' In my weakness, I find my strength!'

MY BOOK

My main interest for writing my Book, Pen to Paper, is to encourage others to write and introduce the positive side to Creative Writing.

I've always had an interest and love for words and when the idea of writing a book came to mind, I realized this would be a wonderful way to share my love for writing with others.

I hope this has come across in the many examples given of different ways of writing, using the prompts and exercises in the book.

I especially hope that you have enjoyed my stories and memoirs and plays and poems.  

Writing is meant to be a fun exercise where we can facilitate our creativity and even learn more about ourselves through the inspirations and ideas that come to mind.

Pen to Paper, let's write!
