Writing Prompt #23
When My Soul Speaks, I Create
I have finally learned to listen
One morning while journaling, an idea popped into my head. I had been struggling whether to continue my wealth coaching business. We were in the middle of the quarantine and the world felt like it was coming apart.
I don’t want to dwell on those dark days, other than to acknowledge the shared experience of loneliness, despair, fear, and helplessness.
But from the cauldron of those dark emotions rose a phoenix.
At least for me.
The Crazy Idea
While I allowed my mind to wrap itself around the idea, my heart leaped up as hope and love exploded. I watched as my mind and heart had the following conversation.
Mind: “You can’t write about a money tree right now. People will think you’ve finally stepped over the edge.”
Heart: “This isn’t about you.”
Mind: “But I am the one who has to write it! It’s my name on the cover.”
Heart: “You want to help people see that this period of time will pass. Their fears and worries about money don’t have to suffocate them.”
