Learning how to write from the heart is a step in allowing emotions to flow. And you may ask.. how did I learn how to do that?
It wasn't through college education, business writing, keeping a journal. It was from admiring how one woman in my department always seemed to write the most incredible things on birthday cards. I asked her how she did it.
"I write from my heart."
Well.. what in the heck does that mean?
"I hold the pen, look at the paper, think of the person and write what feels right."
Aren't you afraid you're going to look really stupid, sound stupid, say something really wrong?
She shook her head no, shrugged her shoulders, handed me the pen and card and said... "You try."
