The Guilt Free Life

For someone who writes about loss, I sure do have a lot of experience with it. Today, my first book was published. Although I am ecstatic to be over the first hurdle that writers encounter, I feel a slight sense of dread nonetheless. It isn’t even listed in Amazon yet, but until it is, you can view the details here.

Along with this book, I was asked to create a weekend-long workshop to deal with loss of any type I choose, whether it be death (which is the subject of my book), divorce (also got experience there!), financial (another nod) or physical possessions (go ahead–guess–yup!). I made a list of different types of loss, and fell asleep with exhaustion somewhere around 33. With all this latitude, I am finding it hard to hone in on a specific subject, or even where to start.

Writer’s block occurs when the white page stares back at you, and although you have a mind full of ideas, nothing comes out right when the type is on the page. Me, I suffer from thinker’s block. The experience is there, yet when I try to materialize it on paper, my head is empty!

If anyone has suggestions as to what they would like to see in a workshop, please feel free to comment.
