Oh...here's another thing...years ago I wrote a novel...it just needs to get to the right agent once...and that won't happen unless I send I put it out there.
So....that's a long-winded way of saying that moving is opening my eyes up to a lot more possibility - and to the fact that I've been sitting on potential for some time now - and that I've got to get up off my a$$ and put that potential into action.
Hi Carlos,
As I have seen you post so many times, to me, to others and to yourself, this whole db thing is really all about self-discovery and self-improvemment.
I think it is fantastic that you have decided to send your novel out to agents and to put your potential into action. It is great to see you focus on yourself this way.
I imagine that as you are packing up your house, some feelings are coming up for you. I see this as a challenge for you to do two things: (1) feel the feelings without getting mired in them, and (2) find the ability to keep looking back to yourself from those feelings and refocus on yourself and the good positive things you are sucessfully making happen for yourself and your boys.
Maybe make a small list of your accomplishments in the last few weeks. I'll even get you started:
(1) found apartment (2) getting house packed and ready to move (3) rediscovering desire to teach (4) rediscovering desire to write novels
I bet you can come up with lots more and if you cannot, then time to focus more on you.
Be well and as you always post to me, be kind to yourself.
